Re: Tales of Kenzera: ZAU Developer Falls Victim to Layoffs

Savage_Joe

Layoffs in the game industry are common. This is not a post 🐼🎤 phenomenon. It’s just that they were not reported as often as nowadays, unless it came from a high profile studio.

After a game is finished, most studios don’t even know what to do next, especially if their game was not financially viable. Obviously they have to cut people off to maintain the rest until a new project comes along.

Problem is that some high profile studios wipe out entire divisions to stay afloat because they got too ambitious and started hiring left and right. A shame indeed, but again, quite a common occurence.

1. James Gunn had to face that same outcome by the movie industry over a decade old tweet, only to turn tail and hire him back. If by “internal investigation”, you mean using the same rumor source, that’s not a really good investigation.

2. “ innocent till proven guilty has been warped into something that is weaponised by the far right to defend their heroes like Trump”. Innocent until proven guilty is a constitutional right, it’s YOU who are making it abut Trump or other ideological crap. You are using that argument in vain.

3. where I live, we have a saying that reads “don’t preach morals in underwear”. you want to preach good, then be and show good. your pfp is not helping on that front.

Re: Poll: Can a Game's Brutal Difficulty Put You Off Playing It?

Savage_Joe

I tend to categorize a hard game as either “challenging but satisfying” and “just frustrating to play”. I put the game on hard mode (though not the hardest). If that mode is so frustrating that I have to change difficulty to something much easier, then it was not a good design to begin with.
