just because the 3 main heads are turkish doesnt mean anything. Cryteks majority workers are german and there work also many russians and genral eastern europeans. Thats why they opened up so many subsoderies in eastern europe including kiev because thats where people can program games in europe.

Crytek did not establish their first studios in Eastern Europe, they bought Bulgarian Black Sea Studios, then Bulgarian Black Sea Studios became a part Crytek. Stfu Jelaous RusskiePrusskie.

Good stuff, they should produce in Turkey, hire people there, stimulate the economy, educate personal, and contribute to Turkish economy. It turns out the Turkish CEO is a real country loving patriot. We need more of those.
