I don't wanna hire guys who allow themselves to get pushed around and bullied into building poo poo software that doesn't work. What kind of personality type is ok with just sitting there and turning bad ideas into bad code? Not the kind of personality I'd want in my shop. At least, that's just all I have to say about that.

alphabettitouretti posted:Might be on the money with that. Two days before a bunch of CIG staffers are rumoured to be transforming into filthy leavers and a senior dev tweets an article which says, among other things, you shouldn't trash talk your ex-employer. I can completely see a CIG employee warning leavers to keep quiet, doubly so if there is a bunker mentality building among the remaining employees. In this case, the exaggerated RSI buddy-buddy-ness today would be another smoke screen to hide any leavers. We should keep a look out for major people leaving today...

I can see a game company not wanting to hire a person with the public stench from CIG's failure too. CIG employees reading this: Get out while you still can, though it may be too late.

Sperglord posted:Remember the posting on Derek's website? The guy said that his company didn't hire any programmers from CIG. You may be on to something here... I can see a game company not wanting to hire a person with the public stench from CIG's failure too. I don't really know what the politics of hiring in games is like, but I have a feeling it's a lot less forgiving than the mushy, bullshit world of "enterprise software." Those of us who work for small/startup companies basically bounce from failing-rich-kid-passion-project to failing-rich-kid-passion-project. It's either that, or go work for one of the big, institutional (read: successful) companies. So it's more of a straight up experience-based meritocracy. What are your core competencies, what kind of languages, frameworks, databases (etc) do you have experience with, do you like fuckin' love agile? etc. Then they try to murder you in an interview, and if it turns out you're not full of poo poo and actually know the stuff you put on your resume, you're in. Hiring for game development? IDK man. I have to imagine that a lot of really bad programmers dream of being game developers, and you have to weed out bad attitudes or "culture-fit" mis-matches much more aggressively. Esp since game dev studios tend to be chaotic as gently caress and run by anti-corporate types.

Yes, but is it realistic to think they have more than a couple of thousand subscribers? I mean even with 10,000 subs at $20 a month that is only accounting for $6,500 a day or roughly $270 an hour. I'm still really suspicious of the figures on that chart but I think it's more a case of them reporting 'weird' data than purposefully being faked. I can't see that they are selling $50k a day in ships and game packages at all, that would involve them selling more than 200 ships a day, everyday and I just don't think that demand is out there.  is all I have at the moment. CIG are presumably piping the data to the website so they could pump whatever numbers they want up there. Do they want it to look like they're 'okay' bringing in 2-3mill a month? Possibly, but that's only gonna make it much worse if/when they fail and the numbers don't add up.

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:The brochure is actually really funny, and they probably could have gotten away with selling a $5 skin. I dunno, seems like they tried WAY too hard. "Haha, look how self-deprecating we are! Please love us!" Oh and lol if you don't think they'll eventually pull a "since you guys *begged* us to make it a skin..." move.

Nah, I don't think the graph is supposed to track subscribers - and if it did, it would tick up once or twice per months, not daily. There are hundreds of thousands of Citizens remember, and exactly as many idiots

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:Back when coffeechat first came up (and Ben was still talking to me), he said they had an espresso machine in the old building. It was a Delonghi Magnifica, which is apparently $600 on Amazon. Then again he also said he didn't know anything about a $20,000 espresso machine in the new building... so thanks Ben I'm glad to see your credibility remains unchanged. You don't think the Crobbler allows mere salarymen to touch The Mean Bean Machine, do you? That thing will be in the gold-plated executive suite, enthroned in porcelain and marble, polished daily with the fresh tears of Cutlass owners.

Solar Plebians! Choose Your Adventure! What should I write about next? a) Goonrathi Religions and Myths b) Stimperial Sport, Extended Editions c) Spergian political intrigues (aka A Game of Autists) d) Steal and rewrite all 1600 lines of the leaked SC, for use in Solar Plebian Don't just post your vote and nothing else, that would be terrible. Just end the post you were GONNA make (make it good plz) with a) b) c) or d) and let the process take its course
