Re: Game Industry Layoffs - WTF?
>If nothing else, start making your own titles? even if some Fairy Cousin would pay all the bills while I'm making my title, the fruit is not worth it. They wouldn't behave that way if that was viable. Mic's next step is to buy Steam so that they could just clear the shelf of the competition. Sure, you can sell your stuff… -
Re: Game Industry Layoffs - WTF?
I was lucky, i noticed almost immediately doing 3D Art for work sucked any fun right out of it. Went into construction and eventually into Project Coordination. Spend my free time making games with some friends and enjoy the heck out of it. I feel terrible for some of my college buddies getting laid off, some of them are… -
Re: Game Industry Layoffs - WTF?
And? You mistake me for someone who's invested in this sphere. A friendly reminder we got documented proof Bobby Kotick came up with lootboxes while doing coke from a minor's tummy at the Epstein's Funny Farm. He's doing great btw. Apparently crab mentality is reminding folks the people they work for will literally leave… -
Re: Game Industry Layoffs - WTF?
I've lost track of how many projects were cancelled over the years or were dead on arrival/flopped because the studios don't know / have forgotten (lost key people) how to make fun games, and they all seem to be repeating mistakes I've seen countless times over the years. There's a huge lack of common business sense in the… -

late news, because I unsubbed from Bellular since his topics make me question what little faith I have in humanity. Netease cut the funding of six western game studios last month. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9oO4KWAhWcA… -

section about funding, but the whole video is worth putting on in the background https://youtu.be/d-5RHd7vTfk?t=3854 -
Re: Game Industry Layoffs - WTF?
i think it's still quite bad, getting funding was difficult before, now it's near impossible. -
Re: Game Industry Layoffs - WTF?
I honestly don't think these flags are warranted. Sure, @NikhilR has a fixation on these topics, and assumptions being made on what a studio head or a company CEO should care about are weak at best and borderline nonsense ; but there is absolutely something to be said about activists pushing political topics through all… -
Re: Game Industry Layoffs - WTF?
Sacked Grand Theft Auto workers refused pay relief by judge Not sure if those workers had leveraged or thought to proceed with crowdfunding, in order to fund further litigation brought against Rockstar North. Anyway imo could potentially bring on board high powered legal muscle, say KC / Barrister types? which may help… -
Re: Game Industry Layoffs - WTF?
So one of the problems we're up against is that there's fundamentally two halves to the industry. Creative, and financial. We're the creative half. The financial half does not look at making video games as art or as companies. For the people who provide the funding, they look at game production like financial products or…
