So lets have a discussion about the title of game developer.
I was under the impression that game developers made video games , and that doing a good job was about making it fun
When did game devepers turn into evil corporate shills who measure sucess by putting minds in virtual prisons of consumption.
But they’re perfectly willing to fight against leadership when something in the game offends them lol
Don’t blame the devs for decisions that are above their pay grade.
Devs just bring the ideas to life. Pencil pushers & bean counters call the shots.
Kpis should offend them
they can’t release a patch without major bugs. who should i blame for that?
Trust me bro. Devs are the last people you should be asking about. It’s the people who are in charge of KPIs and investor relations. Easy guess is Rod Fergusson but can easily be a team instead of just one guy as well. Devs just listen to the Project management team which coordinate the entire development process among departments like Game Design, Art-TechArt, Development, Backend, Animation, Sound etc… And then those people ask about major decisions to the Game Director which is our beloved Rod.
Your thought process is too reasonable. Prepare to get flamed for it.

You’re so passive aggressive hahaha. Have you wiped the egg off your face from defending the patch as soon as they released it yet?
I am not talking about programmers or even art people. I am talking about the so called game devs that who dont really do much more than come up with ideas ( usually bad ones )
