NEW YORK (AP)
The company behind the hugely popular video game "Grand Theft Auto" says it is not going to jump at a $2 billion buyout offer from Electronic Arts Inc.
New report from Skillsearch found that 22% of those surveyed had been laid off within the past 12 months.
It's a step forward for Stop Killing Games.
The Callisto Protocol director thinks the solution involves the right people, the right timing, and perhaps a little bit of AI
I don't agree with that. I WISH I could agree with that. But buying habits and customer opinions prove otherwise
We've seen developers in the AAA space try new things and ideas. More often than not, the customers aren't willing to give things a chance, or not enough people buy into the project for it to grow.
Creativity works better in the indie space because the budgets, pressures, and expectations aren't the same.
it's a nice idea and it worked during the PS2/PS3-era when AAA didn't cost hundreds of millions of dollars. smaller budgets and shorter development time left room for more creativity and more risk. a game didn't need to sell 4 million+ copies to break even. things are different now.
This is the guy who bragged about crunching his staff and having them work through the night. Crunch culture has lost more talent and done more damage to the industry than any other factor. Screw him.
Some things are more important than money, respect from your peers, co-workers, other companies etc
If i had spent half my life building a successful glodal company/brand i know personally i wouldnt want to sell it for the Earth.
Yes, There is a God
Good for Take Two! IF they are to be bought, at least they will be milking EA for every dime they can get. lol. I feel that this buyout is still inevitable, but here's hoping EA relents.
I think for once the devil(EA) might not be able to take (purchase) this soul (Take-Two).
they should go with 5 billion! so EA bleeds more and stop destroying game industry!
