And after all that, the fans will shit on you and call you a shit dev because you failed your impossible task.
boggles my mind that game devs don’t unionize, like… what do they expect? of course they’re gonna be exploited without a union
I imagine that if they try to unionize, the large game companies will just cut off their income until they either become bankrupt or until they crack.
And then they will get their ass fined in a way that they will go bankrupt instead.
Lol ya, okay. Sure they will.
Not in America. The corporations are pretty much the actual government and the government are pretty much just puppets that the corporations can lobby at any point without repercussions.
At the very least that is how it feels.
Too many people want to work in the field
public sides with publishers
Hot take but I blame gamers stuffing the pockets of these sort of publishers by lapping up early access and pre orders. It gives publishers no incentive whatsoever to change their ways because they still have the only thing they truly care about: money.
It’s absolutely the gamers. They’re in a competition with Apple fans to see who will purchase literally anything a company makes. Patient gamers is where it’s at. Buy the good games a few years after release with all the bugs fixed, extra content, and on sale.
with the enormous amount of old games available for trivial cost, and games like terraria, stardew valley, and deep rock galactic which cost less than a AAA title and the devs just sort of refuse to stop updating their game for free, we’re at a point where dropping 70 dollars on a game is just self harm.
why place the blame on the millions of people buying the games instead of the few dozen companies making the games? do you think it’s easier to get a million people to change?
Doesn’t matter what is easier or the numbers involved. Fact is power lies in the money spent by millions funneled to a dozen, making them so potent. Millions don’t even need to change their ways, even a significant minority can start making bottom lines bleed like a mf.
It’s even worse when Bethesda does it because they split the modding community. LE, SE and AE are not compatible with each other’s mods.
Comedian Frank Caliendo used to do an impression of John Madden:
“You know what I’m thankful for? Kids who pay sixty bucks each year for what is basically the same video game. A-heh-heh-heh, cha-ching!”
I actually moved the artist’s information to the middle of the image so that I didn’t crop it out. So thank you ;)
I’ve never been a fan of Final Fantasy 7, I wish they’d move on from it. I know it’s not all the same game, but between remakes and spin-offs etc, I feel like there’s been a dozen ff7 related games out there
I haven’t played even a quarter of the trash Square Enix put out after final fantasy 7. They’ve ruined my favorite childhood game with a remake that is a reimagining of the game (but they marketed part one as a remake, basically lying about what it was). And yeah, now I kinda wish they would too.
They kept darts and squats and just as bad as I remember them being too. The impression I got from playing the main game was that Ff7r isn’t really a remake so much as an intro to a sequel in a sort of steins gate alternate world line kind of way. With some flashbacks to things that never happened as far as I could remember at least, and presumably not that the characters experiencing them could either.
But but but! The next CoD has different gun skins! That makes it a completely different game that isn’t like the last game at all! /s
