Here’s my question, do you think it’s fair that a voice actor comes in, puts in a handful of hours recording dialog and ends up making more than those who put in 100s if not 1000s of hours to actually program and develop the game?

i understand the argument but on the other hand why should a VA take a cut base on the value of final product? why should VA get pay more if the game is popular?

What really gets shitty is that only the publisher has the “true” data for sales, and they can (depending on the contract) sit on them for up to a year before you can even start getting residuals. So smaller studios will get the bonus payment action immediately after launch (provided criteria are met) but that extra…

Don’t forget that with physical copies, outside of companies that sell them direct, you will also need to negotiate for shelf-space and such in store and other retailers, which can be a problem since they are not keen on last minute changes to their schedules.

I think you absolutely can get rid of crunch, when it is being abused as heavily as it is by some of these major studios and publishers. I was still shocked to hear that Naughty Dog, a company that is admired, is literally worse than EA when it came to crunch. People were doing it for 8+ years straight.

EA? Worked there too, literally worked 7 days a week and never got a true holiday off (including working christmas day) which meant I couldn’t actually go anywhere since I needed to be on call just in case everything blew up.

This site has done a great job profiling the problem in society with victim-shaming etc and that certain institutions and psychological dynamics make it difficult for victims (read: women) to come forward in situations of sexual and assault and rape. That said, the coverage of this case on Deadspin has made it seem…

or is it?

Look I don’t mean to detract from how you feel. I couldn’t imagine going through life terrified for my families safety and I can’t speak to what is happening with your son at school. If that is truly happening I am very sorry that he has to go through that. However the chances of anyone in your family being shot by…

Wow. Not that this excuses this little shitstain’s behaviour at all but with a father like that, that boy never stood a chance.

Investors are confused!

Really? Starting a war with the Kurds AGAIN over The Sultan’s little plot to gain even more power. Bombing everything BUT ISIS. etc....... The list goes on and on. Erdogan has shown a lot of bad judgement over the last months/years while being blinded by his own vanity.

Seriously. I’m a restaurant manager and am already weighing the benefits of paying to keep the stop across the street stocked with lures.

I am very happy with the amount of content right now. Look at this game as a platform. Things will be added over time, servers will get more stable, everything will improve given enough time.

Shameless motherfuckers. Democrats, please get out and vote, at the local, state, and federal level. Independents and those who don’t affiliate with any party, myself included, please do the same. There is no defense against what these maniacs are doing to our country.

Uh, and is there the same amount of outrage over an “actual” rape of a mentally disabled boy by members of a high school football team?

As a fellow alum, I am tired of the shit show that USC program has become, from death penalty-like sanctions from the NCAA, the crap that Kiffin pulled (jersey swaps and deflated balls), the public downfall and lawsuit of Sarkisian, the firing of both...tired of it all.

As a USC Alum and life-long fan, I am ashamed. As others have said there was celebration afoot when this self important ass-clown stepped down. All the other infractions never bothered me really. A happening of chance. SC got the short straw that year in the NCAA investigative theater. But this is the type of action I…

He’s leaving the athletic department to become President of USC, right?

Fair enough. I guess my concern is that this will set a precedent that with enough political influence, we can remove judges from the bench when they do things we don’t like. This concerns me because the majority (or at least the vocal minority) of Americans still think that we should lock the door and throw away the…
