Oh those guys? Yeah those are just the dozens of professional voice actors we could afford to hire with our tiny baby game studio budget! And those guys? Yeah that's just our 7-person "engineering" team. What do you mean your entire studio is 4 people?
suck off me
(for the record I'm not dunking on Hades or Hades 2 as a game this is just something that pisses me (and I assume only me) off)
They're successful, therefore bad.
I'm not really questioning the morality here. I was asking more because I didn't see what made it petty bourgeois instead of something else. I think I understand their point since the company's owners all actually work there, but I don't know all the details of their finances, and the detail of whether all the studio is owned by its founders/other devs, or by some investors, makes all the difference here. I don't know anything about game dev finances so I can't even really guess, maybe they just got started with some sort of grant or loan for all I know.
It was supposed to be a joke about how vulgar class analysis often boils down to "are they successful and making money or poor and struggling?" but it may not have come across that way and might be a bit hostile, but I wasn't trying to target anyone in this thread with this.
it was a throwaway comment, but just because a business's owner(s) 'works there' doesn't make them not bourgeois
no idea about this particular dev, I'm just assuming because not one comment is pointing out how the studio is a coop
