I mean, I’m always spraying everything with windex still so it’s stuck with me.

Somebody went on a loooong nostalgia trip!

Yea, salaries paid aside here. I’m also trying to find that balancing act decision. In the end, if you like the content, you buy it and keep pressure on for change you want to get best of both worlds.

Oh I get that, but even in the article itself and heard oftentimes before, there are bonuses to staff factored in after a game ships (6 months out sometimes as mentioned above). Those would be specified of course, so yea, anything above would just be pocketed, right.

Can we just assume everything’s gonna be cancelled for the next couple months at a minimum?

Saw the Handbrake, went ‘NO.’

So it seems all I can do as a customer/bystander is support the game for the creators, not the company. Even though that’s not properly translated to them, but rather to the company’s bottom line, at least they see their hard work pay off. Least bonuses are a thing.

But ‘everyone’s their own production manager!’

This is a great read with thoughtful insight into a company with some nasty management. Using “passion” as their lame excuse for crunch is worse than them just saying we require OT. There should be lawsuits and fines, but law is the law and they’re taking FULL advantage.

What’s shitty is that the gov’t should have been debating a stimulus plan and aid details months ago, when the virus was already gaining ground... Maybe they should just come up with solutions, then do the complete opposite as that would benefit the people more at this point.

That’s what I was pondering. Future years could also be affected!

Their punishment should be having their faces shoved in one of those tailpipes while it’s blasting coal ash... Fuckers.

God, I hope not. And we thought it was a convoluted atmosphere to buy games NOW...  Ha, so all publishers open their own streaming channels... Then in 10 yrs, the devs themselves decide to do the same thing. It won’t stop!

Only he holds the antidote.... I’ve seen this before.

Iconic? HL1 definitely is the most iconic. Best FPS, one wrote? Nawww. It came out with little to no competition in FPS specifically so easily can grab hearts easier. Still, better story than most FPS’ even today, ha.

One can only hope that when white terrorist groups are pinned terrorist orgs, that they come down on them as equally as they would ISIS.

That’s some conspiracy theory shit right there. lmao.

Can I volunteer to tell Tr$%p about his grandfather? Hell, I hope he gets Alzheimers, so I can tell him every damn day. He deserves it at least.

You know there are 3 extremely awkward people at each of these events that just ruin it for everyone.

I feel I need to escape my Fiesta, that Ecoboost is like the equivalent, but better for a taller guy. BUT, I hate that damn auto start/stop. I’d like to see long-term maintenance results on that. Gotta be through the roof.
