I’m wondering if FromSoft even knows HOW to make a game that doesn’t play like Dark Souls anymore.

I’d avoided every from soft game since the last armored core and as long as it doesn't play like a souls game I'm in.

Thank god, finally, now just don’t suck.

I mean... maybe, but they shouldn’t have to.

This is very Japanese. Your interview consists of you sitting in a rickety foldup chair in the middle of the floor (possibly with several other candidates in a gang interview because you’re disposable mobs) facing a table with three or four interviewers who have strong opinions on what today’s young people are lacking…

A minor thing maybe, but this seems like a dumb mechanic to include in the first place.

Apparently she also has an agent that takes up to %30 from the remaining sum. So the final would be like $1400

This is a contract worker who has to pay their own taxes and provide their own benefits. The $3,000 is not take home.

3k is your take-home.

Forget fairness. It’s an unnecessary component of the discussion.

How many weeks/months will the “average” person go without work and pay between jobs though? Let alone the frequency of such issues as carpal tunnel injuries(seriously more common among artists than some might think, especially those who can’t afford to charge something like this and must take on larger amount of…

The difference between that freelance artist and the “normal job”, however, is that all the time spent on that project can’t be spent on other projects.

Lot of people both-sidesing an issue between an independent artist and a deeply unethical multi-billion dollar game company, it’s weird

That person who works for weeks to make the same amount of money usually isn’t designing an asset or a product for a company who can then turn around and make millions of dollars off of that asset or product.

It’s almost as if the average person should be paid more.

“ That’s more than I make in a month working 40+ hours a week doing a “real” job.”

The rich do spend - they spend it on themselves and often at the expense of everyone else. Those megayachts aren’t figments of the imagination.

Haha, no. They spend outrageous amounts on tacky and meaningless nothings. The real reason they stay rich is because they weaken labor organizing. 

The rich are rich by exploiting those poorer than them. It’s a universal truth.

Ugh, the worst part is, they’ll find someone desperate enough to take the deal. Not that that’s the individual artist’s fault. And I imagine we’re not too far off from large corporations just using AI art generators for whatever Epic was looking for.

I hate the world we live in.
