That's the sort of blunt rotation that would make a fella wanna go and throw himself in front of a train.

The median salary is $129,000. I don't know why this report omits that number.

When? No idea.

Why? Vibes. You seemed dope, and I didn't realize you worked in games until after I had bought in.

I mean... depends on the cost, but hell yeah I'm *interested*. :p Based on what I've seen online, I reckon quite a few of us are.

Blue Prince.

A lot of games were very, very good examples of things we've seen before. Clair Obscure? Brilliant! But I've played a turn-based RPG before.

I've never played anything *quite like* Blue Prince, that blended puzzle solving and roguelike mechanics with a properly engaging narrative.

That is not a complaint or an insult or a dismissal. I was literally hired to work on post-launch content - content which, quite famously, will never saw the light of day. While I'm irked by that, I'm MORE upset that none of the writers I managed can show off the awesome stuff they were working on.

Full Disclosure: I worked on Concord. Briefly. I was at Firewalk for less than a year, and while I met some remarkably talented folks and made a few friends while I was there, I typically refer to Firewalk in the third-person rather than "we" because... well, there is no "me" in the game.

You'll never get me to say Concord was bad (because it wasn't), and I dismiss those who like to dunk on it because, frankly, if even a third of the people who pop off about how much the game "sucked" had actually bothered to play it, Concord would still be alive and kickin' today.

Hells yeah. Congrats!

Of course, I say "I don't use all that power" but clearly Windows does by the way it randomly ramps my fans up to 100%.
