Sounds like some of them, not all 225 or so, but some of them are being brought in and paid for their time.  So, no awkward emails, though the awkward sense of “you have a job for like, 6 months unless we hire you permanently”.

There’s probably money to be made. Telltale already probably already paid for all the tech fees, I believe they already recorded and paid for all the voiceover work and already have a script, concept art, character models, etc.  The effort to put it out will probably be rather minimal (in video game development terms)…

He actually mentions it in the article as a game he quite likes from Ubisoft.  That quote about selling millions follows shortly after that.

Eh, no worries man.  I get it, it’s the internet. :)

Here’s the thing though: games don’t have to be made this way. Games like Hellblade, Metro: Last Light, the Witcher 3 and Vampyr show you can make “AAA” quality games that do something interesting, unique and fun that may even make you think a little bit and still make a profit without all of this bullshit; you just…

I’m certainly not saying you can’t make a “AAA” game with soul. What I’m saying is that game companies, like Ubisoft, EA or Activision are in no place to complain about the industry “not having a soul” when they created the very conditions for that to be considered an issue. It’s like taking a dump in the middle of…

Serge Hascoet talking about the video game industry missing a soul is laughably insane. Somebody from Ubisoft, a company best known for putting out soulless open world money grabs, is talking about the industry needing a soul? Get the fuck out of here. If the industry is missing a soul, it’s because companies like…

Video game “universities” or “schools” are generally pretty scummy, for profit institutions that don’t care if you get a good education. They promise students that they’ll get jobs in the industry, entice people with flashy commercials and then give them a virtually worthless certificate. There certainly are graduates…

Nah, there’s no hypocrisy here. There are some good arguments to be had in favor or against raising the corporate tax rate, that’s a good example of an issue in which the correct answer is debatable in which there is not a clear moral right or wrong and where the true answer is . The idea that other human beings have…

Sheriff Joe was too busy worrying about the color of inmates’ clothing.

So, this story sounds quaint and funny now by comparison to our fucked up current reality, but when I was a teenager I lived in Utah where country music is the dominant music on the airways (or was when I left, at least). You couldn’t escape country music in Utah, no matter what you were gonna hear quite a bit of it…

I’m pretty sure he doesn’t just use the n-word to make a point about Colonel Sanders either.

This wasn’t her personal money though, this was for Nerdvana. Which means that, if anything, it hurts her business and maybe hurts the wages of employees and/or expansion of the business. I don’t understand why you’re so eager to take the side of a guy that stole $3 million to buy fancy clothes and host parties,…

I literally had to Google who those guys were, I’ve never heard of them.

Always basketball ejection truthers.

With the right/wrong tools at your disposal you can often figure out who someone is with a few quick searches. From there it’s usually pretty trivial to find out where they live according to corporate databases that have been stolen or even official records...though of course those records may be out of date or…

I get what you’re saying, but after going through reforms a few years ago the Seattle PD are generally better than most police departments in the country. They were one of the first PDs to embrace body cameras and they have a black female police chief. The Seattle police definitely aren’t perfect, but if any PD can…

He stole from Randy Pritchford’s wife’s business.  I get that Aliens: Colonial Marines sucked, but that really doesn’t have all that much to do with this story.

Has fuck all to do with this. This guy stole from Nerdvana, the business started by Rand Pritchford’s wife.

Even if you steal from a rich dick, it’s still stealing.  That and, I don’t have a lot of sympathy for the guy after he stole their money and blew it on parties and clothing.  If he stole it and donated it all to charity or used it to treat a family member’s cancer or something, I might say “yeah, sure that seems…
