Multiple game studios have recently closed because their titles couldn't compete with established live-service games like Fortnite. Meanwhile, you can also literally work on Fortnite and get laid off and Tim Sweeney remains a billionaire. Something has to change. The time is now. uvw-cwa.org

I'm sorry but if you have 4,000 employees and your revenue is 6 billion, you make 1.5 million per employee and if you can't make a profit margin there, you are simply embezzling it.

every time someone gets in trouble for old tweets (pre 2014), the conversation quickly turns into revisionist history. you guys were not on twitter 2010-2014 and saw the shit everyone used to say back in the day. does it make it ok? no because someone is always on the receiving end of the hate

Placeholder assets in a game should look obnoxiously temporary, so obvious that no one would mistake it for the final asset. In past games we've used the doge dog (rip) as an icon, hot pink versions of characters, our CEO's head, etc. If you use a temp asset that seems passable, it may stay there.

Some say that making a smaller game or simpler game are ways to cut down on dev time. This is also true. But if you're making a game of any size that has any sort of consistent production methodology, a good way to make everything take longer is to change standards and pipelines in production.

the Cesar Chavez article is heartbreaking but not very surprising. many leaders of political movements in the past have a pattern of abusing the women in their lives and often taking credit for their work.
