    They are not paying directly. As per the article you can get additional PTO days in the future, albeit only after Squadron 42 is released (whenever that’s going to happen) and if you are still with the company.

    A pretty sketchy approach.

      Ah, I see, the early access model except for employment. Put in extra work now and maybe you’ll get some days back in a few years. Unless the project fails… or you leave the company… or we don’t feel like giving you those days anyway.

        Agreed, but this is Star Citizen, even from a neutral perspective; a pretty sketchy project run by a sketchy organization (CIG).
