Re: Artist Shares Experience at Rockstar San Diego
Yeah, that's a little overboard Seforin, you've done your fair share of crying on the boards. The moral of the story is if you're a production artist you aren't going to change much in a big studio - just move on. You'll have to live a little more responsibly, don't do the average American style of living paycheck to… -
Re: Artist Shares Experience at Rockstar San Diego
Saying that this kind of thing happens at every studio doesn't make it right. I worked at a place where we were expected to work overtime like crazy. Their poor management and stubbornness affected the lives of the employees and really deteriorated the work quality and peoples moral. It was so bad, that i had to go in… -

Thats typical for me too, I normally work 8hr days 5 days a week with a little OT here and there. Going on 5 years of that and I love it. I'm home by 3:30-4pm which gives me 4-6 hours of family time before my daughter heads off to bed. I love the flexible hours and being able to work from home sporadically, is a great way… -

I think this was a good read. Even though it's always hard with these "open letters" to tell how much is objective or at least true. ae. : not sure how serious your last post was but I'm absolutely not your opinion -

Havent read everyones responses, but I would eat my own art hand, if all the guys on this forum that have been involved with a top, widely regarded AAA 90% metacritic or higher franchise, have not gone through various aspects of his rant to some degree or another. -
Re: Artist Shares Experience at Rockstar San Diego
One of the weirdest parts of the article is when he talks about how his team didn't have an organized feedback system. Is this common? As an animator, I can't imagine not having animation dailies... it's so important to get critiques from your peers and lead. -
Re: Artist Shares Experience at Rockstar San Diego
I've had an employer treat me like shit in the past, in a different industry. They called me the day after my Grandfather's funeral to chastise me for taking too much bereavement time off. I called them up the next day and quit - no two week notice. I've crunched in the past but there was a sense of a common goal, everyone… -
Re: Artist Shares Experience at Rockstar San Diego
I'm personally glad that he wrote this letter. When a company treats it's employees like robots instead of human beings, it deserves to be reprimanded for that. Whether it comes in the form of a lawsuit like EA or public shaming like this instance doesn't really matter to me, just as long as it happens. The only way…
