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.
Imagine if the next Call of Duty is shown at Sony's E3. True, it's going to be multi-platform but the symbolic implications would break the internet in half.
The bigger the gap grows the more Microsoft will have to pay for exclusive content\games.
Thats the way I see it and its all up to investors to decide on how much they want Microsoft to invest in the Xbox brand.
I remember the first xbox games, they had exclusive content right on the disc that you couldn't find on the PS2 version.
That's what xbox should go back to, exclusive content and scenarios built into the game, straight on the disc- and not this dlc crap.
If Xbox would go back to the original xbox swag days, instead of over relying on Live and advertising and jewing people out of money, it'd be a real threat. We need that Xbox back- and maybe Phil will be the one to do it.
Microsoft already have a deal with EA, if titanfal become multi-platform then they can do another timed exclusive deal with activision, money talks at the end.
If they pay for it. I am sure Sony doesn't really care.
