I care less about whether it’s AI processes or old-fashioned crunch than “how much influence do workers actually have over their labor”

Not every AAA game needs to be 80+ hours long and take 7 years to make and sell ten million copies to hit “targets.” We don’t need to keep doing that.

I appreciate when there's an audience backlash to this because what's happening from a dev perspective is that its gradually being normalized across many studios, through similar thinking and top-down culture-setting as revealed by these interviews.
this is a good battle to pick. the CEO mentioned using "AI" and got so much shit for it immediately that he's rattled and backpedaling. easy win there
this shit, despite its faults, is not going anywhere and people are going to have to pick their battles

Tbh I think this is way more damning than the AI usage
Larian's horrible hirring process is an open secret in the industry – insane amounts of unpaid work in "writing tests", excessive numbers of interviews, months and months of back and forth, etc. Everyone in games narrative circles has heard the stories at this point, probably from multiple people.
I know this because they tried to recruit me and I strongly considered it but they’re also a “do an unpaid writing test where you have to also make it playable” company so that’s not something I vibe with

Larian is definitely not the only studio using genAI the way thats been published...they're just the only ones talking about it :/

Hi! Game expert here, this is not funny. The video game industry only releases ports of a game through 4 console generations when its in distress
Listen, only when we stop seeing new Skyrim ports will I think that gaming is truly dead.

so there are rules/policies around how game credits work. there need to be, because in a large organization, fair rules are how people can stay aligned and unified towards a common goal. i get that.
but there are two people who are getting insufficient credit on midnight in my *personal* opinion.

So apparently gay rams are often killed because they don't tend to make more rams.
So this gay farmer buys the gay rams to keep them alive and sells the wool!
