“You clearly don’t know the industry”

The sad part is... I thought I was replying to it. :( Kinja screwed me, I tells ya!

You’re focusing on the latter part of the sentence but not the former. Don’t separate my words out like that. But since you decided to laser focus on one piece of my sentence, allow me to focus even harder.

Individual action won’t solve systemic problems.

I have to refer you to the reply I made to someone else insisting the same thing. We’re talking about different engineers here.

Most people doing most of the legwork for games are not paid well at all. Any decent engineer I know is someone who knows to steer well clear of the games industry if they want to make money.

Ya’ll making fun of my comment about the meta of the skinner box when the whole point of the battle pass is to convince you to pay money in order to change how the skinner box works. It’s kinda important shit to talk about!

Still need an article about how the drip-feed of drops for leveling slows to a crawl to the point where the meta may as well not exist.

This was written in a way that makes it feel like the person only tangentially understands what’s wrong with the industry. The whole sleepless nights, Red Bull, management pressure story doesn’t really fit the narrative for Activision Blizzard’s layoffs of what seemed to be in divisions that aren’t programmer-specific.

Whenever I talk to people about the sadness of not getting a Titanfall 3, I let them know that Apex Legends isn’t the video game people wanted but it is the video game people deserved.

Yeah, I thought the series was dead. This was probably the biggest announcement for me.

“People keep saying, ‘Why doesn’t Sony allow more people to have it,’” Sony’s Shawn Layden told Game Informer. “All it takes is for publishers and developers who wish to permission it.”

I think all the characters have an animation with the raven. Hard to say if this really is an Overwatch tribute.

I can’t edit my first post so if you’re reading that, hopefully you’ll read this. I basically take all of this back. Zampella is literally going for the cash grab on his own and EA is just letting him do whatever he wants. This is coming from multiple sources of information now and I just plain feel bad about EA…

He has a particular set of skills...

Then I feel bad for everyone involved! Like I said, it was a bunch of assumptions. There’s always the possibility I’m missing information and if what you’re saying is factual, then Respawn is just another business.

Splitting would help because they wouldn’t have pivoted from Titanfall 3 to a genre-milking money-grab attempt if it wasn’t for EA telling them to after directing them to build a Star Wars game. In other words (and I’m not stating this as fact but damned if it isn’t highly probable) Respawn’s source of investment,…

This news is literally depressing. Titanfall 2 was one of the few first person shooters that felt like it knew what it was doing and did it well. I wish Respawn just took out a loan and self-published, they would’ve been so much better off.

It’s the same shit as GTA:V. The clues are there to wait for a patch that puts the actual solution in later.
