No, he isn’t right. The answer isn’t to just make a game because you are being treated like garbage. Many of these people support families and that isn’t an option. The industry needs to change. Work conditions should be improved. They can start by treating people like people.

When you have dependants, sometimes you just have to push through. And companies take advantage of that.

When you start making mobile dreck and a few DS shovelware games, you kind of lose your street cred.
Does Wild Tangent even make games, or is it just a platform for junk games.

WildTangent Games: The fist things deleted from you mother’s new PC

He’s like one of those old war veterans who’ve convinced themselves that they had a great time trying not to get shot or blown up because it’s easier than carrying around a history of trauma.

I’m guessing this guy is the gaming industry’s equivalent of the “house slave” that would say to the field slaves that they shouldn’t complain about slavery because they had food and such...

Making games is not a job — it’s an art.

If game developers keep on putting up with shit they’re going to continue being given shit. But then people are scared they’ll just be replaced if they speak up or not go along with unfair working conditions, and they will be because there are too many people willing to put up with the shit to get their ‘dream’ job.

“Pushing a mouse isn’t a hardship”, unless you working on productivity software I guess. That said, I have a hard time taking someone seriously who thinks of software development as ‘pushing a mouse’. “Using vim isn’t a hardship” just doesn’t have the same ring to it.

I also think it has to do with the fact that fanaticism breeds assholes and man children. This isn’t exclusive to gaming. Look at sports, the entire redskins issue is no different. You encounter the same rabid unintelligent assholes that instead of forming a rational argument, decide to instead be bullies.

Meanwhile, Rapp has reported that harassment against her has intensified. This past weekend, Rapp tweeted about her family getting hassled, their phone numbers and home addresses magically appearing online, and one individual claiming they’ve filed a police report, hoping investigators would knock on her door.

That was one of the only reasons I went to Zellers (the restaurant was the main one) in some dusty corner they’d have old action figures and other shit no one but nerds wanted.

Their vision is that the player does not get to choose their race and gender, just like in real life. They’re allowed that.

On the up side, this woman is only in her early twenties and may still learn better than this. I think she honestly believes she isn’t bigoted, which says to me she doesn’t want to be - and that’s not a bad starting point, for someone raised in ignorance and hate.

No white person looks good in dreads. Our hair is way too slippery and fine for dreads to turn out nice. (Over all, I know hair textures can vary.)

The only real way I can see braids being unprofessional is if they are some full on Hit Me Baby One More Time school girl type of shit. Other than that, they typically look very sleek and professional without being boring like a typical ponytail.

goddamnit.

I don’t agree with the assembly of characters of La’Porsha as a name for a human being.

Be sure, if you sell them or give them away, to label them as “GMOs” (Gay Modified Organisms). It’s for the safety of the straights.
