lol wtffff

I’ve worked as a general machinist in the past machining parts for skyjacks.

I don’t ever ride skyjacks in my spare time.

thats why you dont work with that anymore

I don’t think they even like wow. At this point it’s like they’re 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 I’m 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 it’s a bad thing.

Some do, yes. The lesson of, “Find what you love to do and make it your job and you’ll never work another day of your life.” 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, it’s 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 don’t die like the majority of adults, it’s perfectly reasonable if they don’t want to do something for 40 hours a week and then come home and do it more.

I don’t agree with “love what you do and you’ll never work a day in your life.” Even if you love it, you’ll get tired, you’ll have hard times with it. I love what I do too but it’s WORK. It’s not meant to be easy breezy. It’s draining and I don’t 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 they’ve produced. Like if you’re 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.

It’s 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, hmmmm…

It would feel like work. Even if they don’t mean to, they’ll notice bugs and constantly be thinking “guess that’s what I’m fixing tomorrow” or wondering what to change.

They may play other games for fun, just like audio engineers may listen to other people’s music for fun.

That’s 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. It’s a commitment to excellence and enjoying what you do.

So if they don’t like their job enough to commit, or they don’t 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. I’ll be over here watching while the playerbase burns the forums to the ground, looking at Blizzard and definitely not saying “I told you so”.
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 there’s a serious problem they should discuss in their on time.

My point is that when you enjoy what you do, consuming it is not “work.” Unless they have PTSD from the game or something I don’t see how they would want to treat it like a pile of dung when they’re off.

I even heard the people who write the simulation code don’t even raid as every spec.

Isn’t this what they hire game testers for?

imagine yourself doing jojojos and memes
