it's mind boggling how retarded the gaming industry is out there, i'm on huelands and the gaming industry here is kind of serious, even if you show interest and participate with the guys you hardly will get doors open to you unless you get indications, receiving investment is even harder. meanwhile out there all you need to be is mildly woke to fail upwards easily, it's something i refuse to comprehend because it does not make any fucking sense giving success and voice to literal retards while completely ignoring the gigantic red flags that scream massive fuck ups in the future.

Once Jeff Kaplan left, the quality of Overwatch diminished. It shows from this expose; video game executives view their players as potential money spending participants. You buy a live service game, you’re churned out for engagement, not enjoyment. Holy shit.

I also saw this, because of the Lex Fridman interview, but I think Jeff (or at least people responding to him) are being slightly delusional.
I can’t speak for Overwatch, it could be the exception, but Blizzard was not pushing out good products before they changed their culture over the lockdown.
If anything they’re doing better now, just with a more cringe aesthetic.
The people saying otherwise (not Jeff) are also saying the sex abuse scandal was just a power play by Kotik and clearly just enjoy sweeping for such things. Yes some of the accusations, like the nature of the Cosby room, were bs but it’s far too big a mess to sweep in this way. And the games were shit(tier) at that time.

So guy, in charge of a failing game and vice president of the company, feels threaten by the guy overseeing the budget because he told him the cold truth and decides to quits job right after to avoid blame right?

>So as a failed writer, my dad employed me-
>I was groomed into a job by my ex-guildies-
>Surrounded by these great people (like Metzen who was employed to program but literally couldn't program)
I know his journey was a fairy tale and very lucky but man. These boomer fuck had it fucking good. Literally just hired because of your vibe. Metzen would've been laughed out of interviews if he pulled that shit today. "Oh you want a programmer? Well I can't-"

Overwatch lost its soul when Jeff Kaplan turned every character LGBT every time there was a controversy.
and he was a piece of shit when he was only known as Tigole.

The wonders of living in a civilization where there is untapped growth and still moving upwards.
You cant do that now because everything is established and run by big players.

Industrial Light & Magic flew out balding losers living in their mom's literal garage, gave them housing and almost against their will got them to work on stop motion for Star Wars. Pixar paid people enough money to buy a home to program ugly 3D trees in their movies.
Now you need to produce a video game or a 20 minute solo movie just to be an unpaid intern. It's fucking crazy.

There is no valid reason why ordinary consumers can't voice negative concerns about a product. At least Kaplan has an actual product to sell and it makes sense why he is trying to voice a bad argument (because he wants to sell his game). I heard a lib-tarded friend voice this argument as a consumer recently. I'm sure he's not the only one.
If you can post positive intrigue without playing it, there is no reason you can't post negative concerns without playing it. Nothing is above criticism.
