That's the next guys problem. Make the numbers, hit the bonus, bail. Capitalist, baby!
Chinook bomber variant you say?
Try hiding in a field of bile and chewed blueberry. That's what it looks like to me.
We found out why: to see if people would accept it so they can put 3rd party ads in their games next. Infinite growth is what investors expect!
This isn't about game type or genre. This is about putting an expiration date on a game as soon as its callsed a "live service"
People get paid lots of money because they get results that generate even more money. Those people are given that money based on a track record of success. That success comes from making demands, and being cut throat. There is a very slim chance you can be nice and successful. It sucks, but that's why they are assholes, because that's who survives in those environments. Look at c level execs or really driven managers and it's all the same "success at any cost" mantra. Also 10 minutes of paperwork at $14 an hour is $2.50 to the company while that same 10 minutes to this "top earners" is $20, or over an hour of a minimum wagers time. That's why I am against huddles in the first place, they are money pits.
A lot of contractors (good ones) know how to play the game. You can get away with a lot when the companies vertically integrated sales app that only they can fix goes belly up. Saw this before where an easily replaceable manager goes up against a long time contractor (ya know, with a contract) and leadership gets to decide how to resolve the situation....
Still could just be a slack thread or a dashboard. Putting people in a room every day is simply wasteful, even if it "works okay". When I managed a team I hated them, but we did have a meeting each Friday afternoon to go over what we did well that week, so I guess you have to be tactical about when you pull everyone off task to huddle.
Yeah I hate when my art is a reflection of life. I don't want my gritty anti-capitilist anti-war themed game to be anti-war...
Classic Ubisoft making a buggy mess of everything
In fortnite, yeah
Pirates know your days are through, cause Seychelles has their eyes on you! SEYCHELLES, FUCK YEAH!
