The media's quest for easy answers does no one any favors.
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.
Videogames will continue to be used as scapegoats when problems arise. The media want to find someone to point the finger and guess who's the easiest target? That's right videogames.
Video game violence is not the issue here. The problem is that crap parents use video games to babysit their kids instead of spending time with them. This leads to very little human interaction, creating introverted sociopathic individuals.
Im not sayin parents should force their kids to come and play catch with them but when the way they meet up is online playin cod instead of bein outside climbing trees, playin football, goin to the park. It means they lack some important interpersonal skills which have potential to create the type of sociopathic behaviour folks try and pin on games.
Im also not sayin that people shouldnt play games but i think folks under 16 should have a limit.
Lets keep this a secret here at N4G, I don't want the media to find out about what I'm about to say. It might make them look extremely stupid and force politicians to rethink their scape goat. Ready?
Violence happened long before video games were even invented AT ALL!
Who knew right? Thanks to this very important fact, all of us here at N4G are way smarter than every politician and media company! Like I said, don't tell them though. They get angry when you make them look stupid.
Blaming video games for violence because of AN IRRESPONSIBLE PARENT bought an 18 rated game for a kid..... Nice!
