"SONY is always whining about piracy and how evil pirates are. But are they better themselves? Not really!
While I browsed the web lately, I read a bit about Bryan S. Blank, the Director of Information Security at SONY Online Entertainment. Getting a bit more interested I found his private homepage (asdfg.org)."
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.
One person, or even a dozen, can't warrant what the rest of the company is doing.
We are all sinners, even if you aren't religious, we all have problems.
Just one quick fact from me.
I worked at a Saturn dealership in my home town, but I only worked there for two weeks. Why you might ask? Because after two weeks, I find that the senior seller, is an extreme racist, and the accountant was placed under child molestation charges.
Does that mean ALL of Saturn are child molesting racists? I mean jeeze, just look at the Popes lol.
-edit- I forgot to mention how hilariously crazy the senior seller was, you wouldn't believe it. On the first week, he pulled me outside away from our boss and started talking to me about how he hates black people and all "there sorts". He mentioned how he even goes to a KKK meeting every once in a while..... What really makes it funny, is our boss is a black man. I just couldn't see how it's possible. Insane lol. Our boss was awesome though, he let me leave Saturn without saying anything and I still got my two weeks pay.
Work and persona life should always be separated.
Why would anyone of a high income need to pirate anything? The only this I download are things I can't afford or can't find at retail. I love physical media and I actually hate downloading but when you love music and movies as much as I do and have so little money you end up doing this you wouldn't otherwise do.
So this is just now coming to the light? Hmmmm. Interesting.
They only care if you download their games sheesh. /s
I don't think i've known a single person who hasnt pirated something...unless of course they don't know how to or just cant operate a computer. It doesn't make it right but just because its wrong doesnt mean people are gonna stop anytime soon.
