This is going to sound somewhat like a skeptic's position, but I don't think anyone here has brought new information to the table. Likewise, I don't think anyone here is really in any position to be changing another's mind on the matter. I'm sure it's fun arguing about China, Communism, how patriotic you are, and the…
"Capitalism...so long as armagon9177 can understand the east Indian on the other line...huh " I was giving an example. Thats all. Quit trying to paint me as a racist please. I was attacking their form of government not their race. You are a little presumtuous in thinking that my idea of outsourcing is based on a phone…
Just thought you guys should know. http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=10971 Im a huge fan of Epic games but this is a real dissappointment. I posted this on the official epic ut2007 forums and they deleted it!! They obviously dont want the average gamer to know about their buisness practices and…
Fuse did you not read my previous posts? Yes I do want a job that they are outsourcing. Its called content creation. Whhich is what I want to do in the video game industry. Does that mean something is wrong with me? or anyone else that is an aspiring game designer. Some of you people dont even read what I say you just…
It's not that we are forced to outsource because of money, you may notice that we are actively hunting for people inhouse to give more money to, but we can't find enough that are good enough so we're setting up a studio that we'll train up rather than deal piecemeal with individual contractors who vary between being fast…
ther was another one called "china rising" on cbc .. it was quite an insightful look into the life of different people at different brackets of social ladder .. off topic: their olympic stadium concept looks badass armagon: noone is here to flame you, you come in with a very opinionated statement regarding the state of the…
All forms of government are corrupt and as a result I support none. If people want to outsource to china then more power to them. More people have been killed for democracy than any other government system except for monarchy back in emperial times. There is nothing wrong with democracy or communisim or capitalisim, just…
To clear things up a bit more. My main motivation and assumption is that a lot of people at polycount are aspiring game designers. I am and I thought that some of the artists who are trying to get into the game industry should know that their future and possible career is being threatened by this. That was my main…
Oh boy. I just gone done in the other thread. To recap my position. -Outsourcing is inevitable at some level with the economic system of a corporate bottom line structure. -It does not guarantee the same level of quality (nor does it say it cant be beyond under certain circumstances). -It also does not mean another artist…
I do outsoucring for a company in NYC and live in low cost Oklahoma. That means that if you are living in NYC I just stole your job! HA HA HA losers! In fact, I think you would have to be stupid to stay in the US. My folks live in Saudi Arabia and love it (which goes to show that outsourcing is a 2-way street). I'm getting…
