Re: Is the game industry really that bad to work in?
It depends who you talk to really, your friends aren't lying there are plenty of people who've had bad experiences in the games industry.

Re: So my boss calls me into his office today..
Maybe he won't be such a tightwad if he manages to land that contract, maybe he will relax... I doubt it. You could always resort to office warfare and destroy him a piece at a time. It works best if everyone is in on it and can cover for each other as well as assist in the pulling off. Things like: 1) If he uses a "ball… -
