Yes! Free oestrogen is not actually a particularly good thing if you’re not on antiandrogens and pointless if you are. E-maxxing is sadly money down the drain.

Most AAA studios have bonus programs in place for sales up to around a year after release - to theoretically make up for the extremely poor baseline salaries. Artists do in fact get paid for the amount of copies sold.
- Comment on #StopPayingGames 1 week ago:
The dogged ignorance of gamers as to the financial reality of game devs neglects the fact that launch profitability bonuses are the only thing that lifts many of them out of a minimum wage bracket.

Librarians don’t get dressed up in balaclavas and hit their nearest book store to get more books. No you’re not entitled to artist‘s work for free.

Why many words when „Tja“, „Doch“, and „Genau“ will do?
- Comment on What’s your favorite video game that most people didn’t like ?? 5 weeks ago:
There wasn’t really much of anything broken at launch. The updates added a couple of QOL changes but the gameplay was much the same. The „insta-fail“ stealth sections were trivial, not really instantly failable and low consequence but I get that the broader market doesn’t really want stealth games with any real consequences (there were similar complaints with a trivial stealth section in FFXIV).

I’ve worked in open plan offices my entire 20 year career and I yearn for the cheap fabric covered mines.

Finding out that he did a photo op tearing down homeless camps definitely vindicated my initial bad vibes.

It’s amazing how Rockstar has gotten away with the same linear quest design with rigid boundaries for generations, thrown in a bunch of edgy boomer humour, and is the biggest media property of all time. No accounting for taste.

It still made more than most blockbusters could dream of. Literally the 16th highest box office ever. We’re definitely getting a 4th.

Where is this idea that game developers are all rich coming from? Artists in the industry don’t get paid much better than a retail wage and programmers could double their salary outside it.

I dunno, I could see Höcke (who we are legally allowed to call an actual Nazi) wanting to get really close with Trump, Thiel and co.

It’s all they have, as their entire society is so easily mockable. Give them a little pity.

The general public on games development. Sometimes even game developers on games development outside their usual sphere/scale. None of us are immune to Dunning-Kruger.

That would be Germans in my experience.
- Comment on Fallout: New Vegas dev says don't expect a remaster, argues Bethesda doesn't have the source code or 'the engineering knowhow' 2 months ago:
That’s not the claim of the article though. Avellone is ragebaiting in a desperate attempt to stay relevant. It’s an absurd claim to make in context - especially from a game/narrative designer.
- Comment on Fallout: New Vegas dev says don't expect a remaster, argues Bethesda doesn't have the source code or 'the engineering knowhow' 2 months ago:
Cool but the narrative doesn’t have anything to do with technical expertise like Avellone is claiming. It was way more buggy than Fallout 3. and some of us are old enough to remember that.

Ah yes because F:NV was such a technical masterpiece. What a ragebait statement.

But if you’re even the slightest bit aware of statistics, near misses are exactly the same as complete misses. Seems strange that anyone educated falls for it. Desperation I can understand, especially these days when traditional ways of building wealth are almost as bad as just leaving cash under your mattress.

The most risk I ever take with my money is an indexed investment fund and even that feels a bit much at the moment.

Good instinct. Pirat_Nation is a grifter/ragebaiting account. No one should be giving him visibility.
