lol wtffff
Iâve worked as a general machinist in the past machining parts for skyjacks.
I donât ever ride skyjacks in my spare time.
thats why you dont work with that anymore
I donât think they even like wow. At this point itâs like theyâre burning the house down with everyone in it just to get at someone.
Do me a favor before you slip even deeper into your delusion. Google what Iâm talking about since you clearly have no idea and get back to me with your garbage takes.
Do you go home and keep doing your job in your free time?
You say that like itâs a bad thing.
Some do, yes. The lesson of, âFind what you love to do and make it your job and youâll never work another day of your life.â is a good one.
When gaming developers hire gamers to develop⌠games, is it really weird to think they might actually play it?
Not at all, itâs not weird to think that they might play it. It is weird to expect that they play it. After all, people should do what they want with their free time. If the game developers are there working for a paycheck so they donât die like the majority of adults, itâs perfectly reasonable if they donât want to do something for 40 hours a week and then come home and do it more.
I donât agree with âlove what you do and youâll never work a day in your life.â Even if you love it, youâll get tired, youâll have hard times with it. I love what I do too but itâs WORK. Itâs not meant to be easy breezy. Itâs draining and I donât want to think about it when I get home.
I guess. I just think that a gamer would game and people would like to know just what theyâve produced. Like if youâre a sound engineer that spends a lot of time mixing and mastering music, you still listen to it afterwards. I get there are some times people may not want to but game development attracts gamers naturally.
Itâs not really like people are telling them to go home and continue developing.
BUT if the point is they would feel like playing this game would be just like work, hmmmmâŚ
It would feel like work. Even if they donât mean to, theyâll notice bugs and constantly be thinking âguess thatâs what Iâm fixing tomorrowâ or wondering what to change.
They may play other games for fun, just like audio engineers may listen to other peopleâs music for fun.
Thatâs a good thing.
I used the audio engineer example for a reason. It never ends because a mix is never finished, only abandoned. So you can spend a long day working on something, listen to something else, get an idea, and go right back to it. Itâs a commitment to excellence and enjoying what you do.
So if they donât like their job enough to commit, or they donât want to deal with the bugs, then maybe blizzard needs people there that are and do.
If you expect employees to work overtime for no pay, you should expect every business or team you run to fail.
Someone pass the popcorn. Iâll be over here watching while the playerbase burns the forums to the ground, looking at Blizzard and definitely not saying âI told you soâ.
Because who knew there was more to making a MMO than turning some art into fruit, adding quests about baking cakes, and worrying about pronouns in something other than a strictly grammatical sense.
Mic. Drop.
No one said to work overtime. Again, if playing this game feels like work to them, then thereâs a serious problem they should discuss in their on time.
My point is that when you enjoy what you do, consuming it is not âwork.â Unless they have PTSD from the game or something I donât see how they would want to treat it like a pile of dung when theyâre off.
I even heard the people who write the simulation code donât even raid as every spec.
Isnât this what they hire game testers for?
