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.
Oh man, T2 is so gonna get bought. More suing when they just recently finished with Jack T ?
hehe.. some things are innevitable... for example.. the negative reaction on people when told not to make extra money.... investors in general love companies takeover... since chances are that they shares will never get as high as what the buyer is paying... specially if one conciders the fact that very few shares (if any) in this industry pays dividents and the only way to make money is by selling the shares... Money talks... unless another company offers to buy them and over bid EA... this will happen... innevitable...
Whatever happened to principles and dignity over making a dollar?
Everythings coming up EA!
I'm guessing the one behind this lawsuit is connected to EA somehow, there is no such thing as a "coincidence" in the business world.
