By LuminaryGhost Go To PostTo be honest, all these stories about terrible working conditions, racism, sexism, homophobia, etc at video game companies makes me super glad I never ended up pursuing video game development as a career.it's the same in every industry. in the game industry you just have fans that will put up with it so they can make the wall textures of their favourite game.
By LuminaryGhost Go To PostTo be honest, all these stories about terrible working conditions, racism, sexism, homophobia, etc at video game companies makes me super glad I never ended up pursuing video game development as a career.I did a group project creating one in college and that turned me off from ever wanting to do it for a living.
By DiPro Go To Postit's the same in every industry. in the game industry you just have fans that will put up with it so they can make the wall textures of their favourite game.It's the same in every popular industry, because supply and demand affects labour as much as it affects anything else. Companies can offer shit wages and awful conditions because loads of people really want to work in video games. For every employee who hits their breaking point and quits, there are 10 others waiting to take their place.

By sy Go To PostWhat do fans have to do with any of this?when fans are your primary workforce it kinda requires more than just boy's club management
at least tech startups get blown up or bought out. its not like these dev studios have any sort of required initiative to fix their shit proactively lol

Battlefield Portal is a highly customizable and community-driven experience created by Ripple Effect Studios. Through this mode, players can not only build and share their own custom game modes, but all players will also be able to browse and play these modes right from the game. The main Portal menu will have three options, one for DICE-created experiences, a second for Community-generated modes curated by DICE which rotate periodically, and then the editor itself.
Ripple Effect Studios General Manager Christian Grass confirmed that in addition to all of the Battlefield 2042 content being available, Portal includes content from three classic games in the franchise: Battlefield 1942, Battlefield Bad Company 2, and Battlefield 3. Along with specific weapons, vehicles, and gadgets, Portal brings back six classic Battlefield maps, available to use in these custom matches. The list includes Caspian Border and Noshahr Canals from Battlefield 3, Battle of the Bulge and El Alamein from Battlefield 1942, and Arica Harbor and Valparaiso from Bad Company 2.
Better yet, all assets from these maps have been rebuilt from the ground up in the Frostbite engine and reimagined for modern technology. The map layouts themselves remain as close as possible to how fans remember them, but for the older maps from Battlefield 1942, destruction physics have been added.
By faridmon Go To PostSo whats gonna happen when Genshin launches on the Switch?
Yeah gaming is in a weird place where so many people who work there are also wide-eyed, hardcore fans and the management types know that. They can treat them like shit because even if they fuck off, like y’all said there’s 10+ people out there would happily take the job.
It’s not so dissimilar to working at Goldman Sachs or another incredibly in demand place but at Goldman it’s about money, prestige, connections, and you leave in two years to do literally anything you want… but then you see the game industry and wonder wtf is there that’s so in demand to cause people to subject themselves to mountains of shit for crap wages.
I often think of this video from a decade ago

By DY_nasty Go To Postlike anyone who owns a switch actually cares about performanceThat’s 85 million people though
By DY_nasty Go To Postlike anyone who owns a switch actually cares about performance
ys ix regularly drops to 17 fps on switch lol
By DY_nasty Go To Postlike anyone who owns a switch actually cares about performancebit unfair since most buy it for the big nintendo games (Kart, Merio, Smash, Splatoon, AC etc..) and they usually run well. Zelda being the notable exception.

By inky Go To PostSims 5? Doubtfulsims 4 was shit? you basically had to get all the dlc to have a good experience
By World B. Flat Go To Postsims 4 was shit? you basically had to get all the dlc to have a good experienceThat all Sims games since Sims 1 Hot Date.
The amount of content Sims 4 still gets tells me they ain't ready to move on.
I'm not defending it, just saying I doubt Sims 5!is getting announced here, unless it's something like "all your Sims 4 content is getting an upgrade" or something.
They found their gaas cash cow with 4

By DY_nasty Go To Postlike anyone who owns a switch actually cares about performancePokémon Unite has a 60 fps mode, which made me happy. Even usable in hand held mode.
