Insider report, Stoic games were tricking employees by masking devops jobs as gameplay jobs. Programmers want to work on gameplay features so they were advertising gameplay position but taking interviews for test infrastructure. Working on tests impacts future job options. stoicstudio.com
Insider report, there is lot of tension within Treyarch and IW for BO7. Treyarch is now using IW's engine and they are blaming them for slow development and sabotaging BO7 so that the next Modern Warfare may get a boost as a return to form for franchise. www.youtube.com/watch?v=87u5...
Insider report, Mojang went through extensive restructuring few years ago. Mojang sweden now has full control of gameplay and creative content whereas mojang america is the back end engine and marketplace studio. Reason was two studios could not work together. Rumors of sabotage and ego clashes.
After stealing bonuses, harassing employees, launching broken games, game design choices, average storytelling, leaving USB sticks and asking customers to make their engine, Gearbox finally feels they are getting better at making games. www.gamespot.com/articles/bor...
343 used Bungie's engine to make their halos. Then they blamed bungie's engine and contractors for infinite's failure. Now once MS restructured 343 into halo studios their staff walks out with messages about shitting on the dev once NDA ends. Beloved franchise is dead. www.reddit.com/r/Games/comm...
First, IW had massive walkout due to bonuses. Then Neversoft took over and made ghosts and Infinite warfare. The devs who walked out made titanfall and f'ed COD. Some of those devs came back for modern warfare remake and saved IW. Then came MW3 remake. Cod is f'ed. www.youtube.com/watch?v=V05N...
Ah the new meta of the gaming industry, if your old and about to retire, screw the company, screw the game, scam everybody out of every penny you can and walk away. A trend I believe many along with Pete Parsons are following. www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6Hq...
After running a company to the ground with the biggest sexual harassment lawsuit in the history of the industry, it is surprising you even have the opportunity to run another company. There is no way that could have happened without Mike's oversight. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUV-...
This award winning game was a financial loss on game pass. Tango gameworks was shut down due to game pass. Model had severe issues that were only realized with a 70 billion dollar Activision acquisition. hifi-rush.fandom.com/wiki/Hi-Fi_R...
An industry connection told me that prior to Xbox acquisition COD had 3 different codebases and distinct teams within IW, TRY and SHG to make COD. That was 3 times the budget for the same game annual reskin release. All of them shifted to IW's codebase and XBox still finds it expensive to run.
We need more success stories like silksong. The devs talk about being in development heaven. The passion to make a great game is so much better that corporate greed to monetize everything. This is the positivity that the gaming industry needs to get back on track. www.gamesradar.com/games/action...
So putting COD on game pass cost Xbox 300 million. Guess that played a role in them killing game pass 2 days ago. Considering the state of next COD either prices are gonna go up or more layoffs planned for next year. www.pushsquare.com/news/2025/10...
Both my mom and my dad have always included me in intelligent conversations about people, about characters, about how people work. My dad and my mom still read all scripts that I find interesting. #aliciavikander
Stealing bonuses, harassing employees, discrimination based on race and gender, scamming customers, threatening game journalists and pathetic management. The Gearbox of today who can't release a bug fix patch without adding more bugs to an already unplayable game. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XKc...
Yup no immediate changes. Just the fear of changes that will force you to leave so that they can save the severance they have to pay once they lay you off. There is no low EA won't stoop down to. finance.yahoo.com/news/ea-tell...
Smart business move. Game pass was not that profitable as selling a game for 80$. This price rise will kill game pass subscriptions and shift players towards buying 80$ games which will make more money for multiplatform XBox. thegamepost.com/canceling-xb...
OMG it is a leveraged buyout. This would force layoffs and massive restructuring to recover the loan. The CEO and corporate management are the main profiteers. EA games would get even worse. thelogic.co/news/electro...
I understand the appeal for the character on the left but we have to consider the fact that in 1603 Japan lip gloss, eye liners and the Lakme make up kit were not available. A game designer's vision of realistic Japan in the 1600's should not be turned into a political agenda hit piece.
