Team Microsoft Xbox would like to offer you the job, we welcome you with open arms

He had them in the first half, but then got to the "I only care about making game fun" part and fudged the interview

 

[duck_sauce]

I don't give a damn about video game developers. I don't care about them as human beings, their well being, their jobs, their pay, their families, their lively hood. I don't care about lay offs, AI, Unions, crunch, sexual harassment or studio shutdowns.

I as a consumer only care about one thing: Is this game fun? I don't care about gaming as a medium out side of of me consuming it and I am sick of all the belly aching about game developers on the internet. To any and all game developers, get back in the kitchen and make me another game.

Exeptional human being.

Welcome to "Who cares society", I guess, something prevalent in current times.

Welcome to "Who cares society", I guess, something prevalent in current times.

Not really. You don't claim you don't care about devs but keep on giving them money because they gave you a game you want. That's a retarded statement and only retards with one brain cell can get behind such statement

 

[KanKamAndNob]

Correct. OP that is a good position to have, because there's a good chance game developers do more than simply not care about you. I've heard them talk enthusiastically about limiting my rights and freedoms. Chuds would have to escalate drastically to even the odds in terms of outlook. We simply laugh at their failure while they lobby for our confinement. These people actually want to you see homeless and destitute.

Some of these people (like the Ghost of Yotei developer) will literally laugh about you dying while the body is still warm if they disagree with your politics.

I bet game development can have hard working, good people in it. Obviously cause @SirTerry-T seems legit.

(...)

Terry is definitely legit. He worked on 50 cent: Blood on the sand. That should tell you what kind of absolute chads him and the team who are responsible for it are.

Looking back, when we played Thief Dark Project, Deus Ex, Pro Skater 2 and whatnot in the year ~2000 who of us cared about these game studios, who even knew any of their names or what city they are based out of

Today half the discussion around Intergalactic is not about the game, but about Neil Druckmann,

and you can't talk about Order of the Sinking Star without someone bursting in with a comment about Jonathan Blow

I enjoy the industry gossip and developer stories, but it's true that nobody was whining for sympathy about how difficult it is to make games ~20 years ago

This one I find particularly strange. Jonathan Blow is the exact type of weirdo that everyone here wants making games. The "high functioning but somewhere on the spectrum, socially awkward white guy that locks himself away for 7-10 years making a truly unique and interesting passion project". And people still shit on him cause of the "socially awkward" part. All those great Western games of the past had guys like that at the helm, only difference was we didn't have social media.

One of the few games where the OST and gameplay worked so well with one another. I grew up listening to Get Rich or Die Tryin' and being able to play it while blowing things up was a ton of fun.

 

[Sunraku]

thus spoke zarathustra

 

[Phalk]

I was thinking around the same lines. I don't even live where those devs make their games, and I care even less about most of western games. Japan seems to be fine.

It's gotten to a point where people won't criticize a bad game because "oh no, if I say bad things about this game and don't buy it there will be even more layoffs!"

It's ridiculous.

We got ourselves to a point that the industry can't be held responsible for delivering bad quality games anymore.

The game industry as a whole and what it morphed into

 

[Dirk Benedict]

Normally I would disagree with such a post, but here we are today.
I still care about certain devs, but for the most part, the romance with the games industry is mostly over.
