"The gaming industry has a growing history of blockbuster hits built through abusive working conditions, and calls to improve are few in number, low in volume."
"Why would anyone ever want to be a AAA game developer?"
Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.
They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.
they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.
Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted
Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
FuRuy has opened a Twitter account called “Project Alice” teasing a new game announcement on April 25 at 20:30 JST.
A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
Interesting read. I'm sure this is the case with publishers like Activision and EA... But there are some developers and publishers that dont fall under this category.
AAA just means huge budget, it doesn't mean the game will be good.
why would anyone want a job? i mean it's a job the thing about the job you heat it. how much you tell yourself you have what you want to do still you will get frustrated about it. it's not like teach or being in military or movie maker better. in fact some Musician heat being in famous or in spotlight but what you got to do it's come with job.
To get paid, for job satisfactions, to get employed... etc. the list goes on and on.
It sucks, and on top of all the sh*t they put up with from the heads and publishers, there is still the legion of bitching fans ready to tear them apart when the game's released.
Devs can't win, and although I'm not against criticising bad work, I am sure to not be a d*ck about it.
