Outside the lavish event, workers called out the ‘greed’ in the industry that has left games ‘being sold for parts to make a few people a lot of money’
It’s pretty widespread across the whole IT industry really. I’m really regretting my career choice. The industry killed my passion for it.
Not to be a Debby downer but I used to work in the game industry and they haven’t said anything new that we didn’t say back then.
There has always been some protest/call for change since I left the industry in 2015. It’s like the film industry, there’s always fresh suckers who will get taken advantage of and those who are burnt out will leave.
I’m politely rooting but I’ve moved on years ago.
Yeah, that’s called capitalism. The greed, the stripmining, the destruction of anything of artistic or moral value for a few penny’s on the dollar: that’s how capitalism is supposed to work.
But guys. This game was made with ONLY 30 people. And keighley is one of us. He let Ms Piggy neg him!
I read this as “He let Ms Piggy peg him!” and y’know, it didn’t immediately set off any alarm bells
Non sequitur

Perfect way to describe it, the golden age of game development has been smashed to pieces.
