Chronicling the inability of gamedevs to make video games

WHY. WHY do they hire these ******* freaks? Who could look at that and think that's a good idea to have as a writer.
Literal ****** fanfic writers getting jobs destroying narratives of proper games, grr.

Wow they are so ********.

HR is burning the resumes of the normal family orientated people applying.

[Xenich]

Tim Cain talking about how modern devs need 4 weeks to write something that would usually take only 45 minutes. Taking on responsibility is also out the window:

Early Software engineering courses were extremely difficult with nearly major equivalent courses in math/physics and required the ability to write an OS/Compiler from scratch as well. Only the competent even made it past the weeder courses. The later changes to the focus removed all of that and you had idiots getting degrees in software engineering.

Fear. Seen a manager get fired because HR was pushing for a certain ****** hire and when he went against them and hired a person much better qualified, HR started pushing complaints that eventually led to him being let go.

some normiecon cuckservative lost his company he founded & was the CEO of for publicly supporting the Texas heartbeat bill that was already law when it was upheld in court
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tripwire_Interactive

Developers that relied upon Tripwire to fund their own games came out attacking him, developers that would have nothing without him.

In response, Gibson faced criticism from people involved in the video games industry, including Torn Banner Studios, which had used Tripwire for publishing of Chivalry 2, and Shipwright Studios, which had been working with Tripwire for three years but stated their intent to terminate these contracts due to the comments

People who think there isn't some conspiracy to oust anyone right of Mao from entertainment are either willfully ignorant or ******* stupid.

Wow, even Torn Banner? Ffs virtue signallers. I helped the original lot test the first Chivalry, back in the day. The devs were really active playing Age of Chivalry (the source mod that predated them forming a proper studio and making Chivalry 1). Such a shame.
I wonder if it was the original crew or a new ****** or two that they hired that pushed for it.

Isn't that basically what happened with the Manor Lords dude?

And Palworld too, I would say.

It has happened a bunch of times. Even games that just downplay the pozz or at least don't put it front & center(e.g., Helldivers 2) end up selling a ton of copies.
Just make a fun game that is aesthetically pleasing and you become rich.

As a joke, on you of course.

An experienced old school developer with some good ideas and practical goals definitely could do well these days regardless of genre. People are starving for anything these days.

It's a sport for them. To me the most egregious example was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brendan_Eich.

In the long run it gave us Brave, but it would never have happened in a sane society.

This game is one of the gayest I've seen in a while. At least Baldur's Gate 3 had a mature art style, despite it's rampant degeneracy. The characters in this game look like they were ripped straight out of Deviantart or Tumblr.

You have an incredibly effeminate "male" protagonist with his midriff exposed, two female characters with one of them having a tail, and a straight-up furry. These japs are a menace.

He's absolutely right, by the way. Who fired all the normal game developers and hired this pathetic creatures for half of previous game developer salary? Wealthy boomers from the 90s and they are very happy that this loosers agree to be treated like sheep for ability to put their propaganda. And you guys buying their games, remind you for a second!

They retired or changed industries.
The older ones like Tim Cain are hovering around 60, the 'younger' ones like Sawyer are hovering around 50. The main issue is they only hire from coastal urban areas, which have very few people like that anymore.
Sawyer's salary is at least $250k a year, btw.

Is this big or small salary? Me and some other people, don't live in us and don't know pricing there.

It's decent for the area, probably more than he'd get anywhere else because he has no real skills beyond "I can make mediocre games and ride bikes".
US gamedevs insist upon being located in California tho, despite salaries being 5x higher there than anywhere else in the country.

250k is just alright if you're living in the bay area.

God I wish people like Avellone and Sawyer never created any social media, I used to respect them before I saw the absolute cringe **** they post on socials, now I can't help but cringe at the mention of their names being linked to any projects. Sawyer is SO desperate to appear as an sophisticated european, there is nothing more that he wants than to connect to his germoid roots, yet the reality is that he is a mutt ruined by globalization that will never have any earnest culture behind his name or inner thoughts beyond those that his amerimutt humanitarian degree pseud circle of liberal nolifer friends spout and reflect onto him. It's so sad. I wonder how many germoid books he'll read and how many impotent rage projects like Pentinment he'll create before he accepts that he has peaked with New Vegas and that it's all downhill from here, total decline. If only he could accept his mediocrity and that he couldn't defeat his 'tism, then he'd be able to live in pleasant ignorance just like his equal contemporaries like Emil Pagliarulo.

I can already tell you he's going to say Visions of Mana.
Edit: He literally did.

Sawyer used to be full-on libertarian, it's why House is the way he is in New Vegas. He contracted liberal brainrot.

I doubt it's possible to make it into a big game dev company/team without being at the very least left leaning centrist, it's practically all circles of nepotism and nepobabies that fund and approve of each other, and you are not getting into any even relatively big-ish RPG companies like Obsidian, Larian, CDPR, BioWare, Bethesda, Owlcat without being on their side and accepting the degeneracy. Sawyer strikes me as a very malleable and submissive person that would get wrangled into whatever autism his mentally ill contemporaries impart onto his feeble approval wanting brain. He is like an autistic child that just wants to play with numbers, it should honestly be considered abuse what these people do to guys like Avellone and him. Just reading Avellone's attempts at flirting and sexting proves these are men that were virgins far into their 30s and have zero social skills or life experiences.

I can't really think of a single 21st century RPG that came from an AA or AAA company that's not obviously libertarian leaning, just some of them are high quality enough where they didn't feel desperate enough to completely ruin the story's plot, setting, and characters just to get a point across. New Vegas was a great game, and never really felt too on the nose with any messages, especially if compared to today's slop that can't help but slap you in the face with it. Maybe Warhorse Studios is chudpilled? But I doubt they'll last long, ESG and DEI money and pressure is inevitable in game dev. The only real cure would be just adding mandatory physical fitness checks and vitamin d level checks before you are allowed to work in gamedev.
