Industry is ok, indie devs can make a good money. Now with AI it is even easier. But working for a big company is a bad career. Too much overhead, garbage lead

But working for a big company is a bad career. Too much overhead, garbage leadership and vision, wokeism...
- AlexandrB 3y agoAh yes, wokeism. The reason games have loot boxes, battlepasses, and NG+ locked behind buying the "deluxe edition". I'm forever baffled how gaming consumers are able to muster such anger at changes in representation and character design while continuing to get nickel and dimed by monetization experts at these companies. I don't think this is intentional misdirection on the part of gaming publishers, but if they did want to channel anger away from the core ways they're exploiting their audience they would be hard pressed to find a better distraction.
- Throw73747 3y agoI am talking about career of a game developer, not customers. Indie games also have loot boxes, it is a great way to monetize.. It is really bad move to work for "woke" companies as cis hetero white guy with some experience. You have to work much harder. And promotions to senior positions are limited...

- downrightmike 3y agoBet that garbage management also likes to bitch about wokeism, go back to sleep already and shush.
