Polygon has a statement from Cloud Imperium Games following up on the report that they were laying off Star Citizen developers and facing financial trouble. They say that they are simply reorganizing things, and while some positions are being eliminated, they will end up adding developers to the crowd-funded space game before long. "Cloud Imperium Games continues to grow its development team across CIG's multiple studios," the company's statement reads. "Each of our four offices is being streamlined to focus on specific parts of Star Citizen which will allow for a more efficient and accelerated completion of the game." Here's more:

As we announced in June with the appointment of Erin Roberts as Global Production Head we have been reviewing how to optimize our development process," the statement continues. "As a result we are moving some jobs and eliminating some redundant positions between some of our offices, as well as increasing them in others. The net result over the next few months will actually be an increase in our global internal employee base.
