Game Developers Hate Us…Here Is The Proof

Excerpt:

"Why is there still hate and racism in the world? We live in 2011. We have cures for almost any disease. We have mastered flight and have sent people to the stars. Heck, we even can find a needle in a haystack. Clone sheep. Transplant organs. Yet with all of the things we CAN do, there is still hatred and racism in the world. When will the day come when everyone will be treated right and won’t be hated on because they are different? Will that ever happen, or am I just wishful thinking?"

the world isn't perfect and never will be...sadly we just have to live with it

I know. Crazy right? What's more amazing is that developers continue to put invert into the games, as that feature is used by a small percent of gamers.

2fk5542d ago (Edited 5542d ago )

true and it's weird that 2 of best friends use invert and another friend of mines does also.

donnaluke20035542d ago

Most inverted users are over the age of 25. Weird, but true. The youngsters just typically don't use it.

hmmm interesting im 21 guess im still a youngster

Oh god, if they pulled out inverted I'd be screwed. Although, more people use inverted than are left handed.

Link is left handed. Although, not in twilight princess because they thought it felt awkward for right handers (because of the Wiimote). Hell, they flipped the whole game world half way through to do it... so I guess I just proved my statement wrong. But hey, at least in the good zeldas he was left handed!

bsmith32585542d ago

I for one am tired of this type of behavior. This only weakens us as a people.

Jon_Mclane5542d ago

As a left handed man I cried reading this. It touched me right in my heart. You said what had to be said and I applaud you for that. Hopefully one day all people can be treated equally, no matter which hand they use to wanky wanky

astrobrights5542d ago

Racist because they don't develop games or controllers with left-handed people in mind? That's a stretch. Fortunately I'm ambidextrous and can use either hand for whatever.

lulz, everybody knows leftys like gingers are the dark spawns of Satan. I once knew a lefty ginger and he turned out to be a serial killer. /s

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.

Scissorman16d ago

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.
