  • I don’t think you realize that video game developers and other related jobs are pretty badly compensated for the job they’re doing. Those devs are among the most skilled ones and could probably earn 5 or 10x what they’re getting now by going to work at some FAANG or big banks. They’re working here because they love video games and want to create something fun, so it sucks when you just get fired like that.

    Also, it’s not because you’ve had it worse that their situation is okay, it’s fairly easy to always find a worse situation and just dismiss any issue.







  • I’m so confused, why does he keep picking ultra-corporate boring people to lead, they have insane engineers, the technologies, the aerospace economy is doing relatively well…

    But no, they’ll put the guy that was in charge of Alexa and Fire TV, you know those super duper successful products that move super fast!

    Really curious why they don’t put people who have been in charge of AWS for example, that would be a much better track record already.

    Hope I get proven wrong.


  • Their new pricing is not horrible, but it’s pretty wonky at best

    After the first wave of outrage they had to clarify that it wouldn’t take reinstalls into account, which should have been clear from the beginning

    Also the fact that they take money on a game install wether or not that install generated any money is just dumb, most people would rather pay more as long as they have the guarantee that they only pay AFTER having made some profits

    Even with the qualifiers, it makes it super hard to make any financial projections as your profits are totally uncorrelated to the fees you’ll have to pay
