intardnation posted:comments are gold on that post. I thought rule no. 1 of crunch for employers was don't document it. Makes things way more complicated when the DoL walks in. By complicated, I mean simple for the DoL. I doubt CIG is paying all their employees above the California overtime minimums.. Keep it up, Sandi. You're doing His work. E: a well protected catte, like the artists in their permanent enclosure.

SurfaceDetail posted:If you knew anything about game devlopment you would know the hat artist cant just work on planets. He does hats. It wont speed up the game if you stop him. Nice try derek. On the other hand, they're probably going to make more money on hats than planets (because the hats will make it in the game). It seems reasonable to focus there because CIG is likely running out of cash.

Fat Shat Sings posted:I've been saying for months that hacking in another "System" that's just copy pasted old elements from 3 years ago that nobody has seen yet would be a huge psychological impact on the backers. It would easily buy CIG another 6+ months and 10,000,000$+ Solid plan. You know they're hiring right?

You may recall that time that Crytek boasted about all the crunch time their employees were doing on Ryse By the time #Ryse ships for #XboxOne, we will have served the crunching team more than 11,500 dinners throughout development. #RyseFacts — Ryse: Son of Rome (@RyseGame) October 15, 2013 quote:In an ill-advised tweet, the official Ryse account explained that "we will have served the crunching team more than 11,500 dinners throughout development." The hashtag #RyseFacts was plopped on the end for good measure. What followed was a torrent of game developers displaying their dismay at not simply the fact that the Crytek team is crunching on its latest game, but that the tweet appears to suggest a level of pride in this fact. Nice to see Sandi following in the spirit of her Cryengine predecessors

Lladre posted:Is the guy on the left that insufferable French Canadian who went to France and got beat up at McDonald's because he was being a weirdo creep, then tried claiming damages from a cyborg hate crime? If you mean Steve Mann, who's from Ontario, isn't the least bit french, has been at MIT since the 90s, and wasn't being a creep (although he is a weirdo), then no. He doesn't wear Google Glass, he's been wearing various incarnations of his own EyeTap thing for a few decades now. The McD guy asked him to ”stop recording”, which he can't do, because it's not meant for recording (it's a pass-through device). Then tried to rip it off his head or something, which is pretty dumb, seeing as the thing's attached to his skull.

Jobbo_Fett posted:Like, the guy I quoted and posted? He's trying to argue, unsuccessfully, that the "design" never changed. Apparently, being labelled as a "scout/light attack" vehicle means it was always meant to be a single-seater. The design didn't change! But even if it did, it was a concept. Concepts change. But it didn't, because it's always been a single seater. It was done to prevent people from gaming the system. What do you mean, "so they did change the number the seats", of course they didn't. "Sold a concept, bait and switch"? Son, i don't think you know anything about seat development.

Stupid people spend too much money on all sorts of poo poo. I have no pity for some idiot who spends too much money jpegs; especially considering how these idiots have been warned.

I suppose, but there's also the pricing of the things in the first place. People wouldn't be spending tens of thousands of dollars on jpegs if there weren't tens of thousands of dollars of jpegs to buy. CIG have normalised a very destructive behaviour.

Ramadu posted:TOo be fair, its an office. That furniture costs money and is well worth it. I'd never criticize a business for spending money on good quality chairs and desks for their employees. Just one problem: these aren't good quality desks. They're good looking desks (from a certain aesthetic point of view), but as actual work surfaces, they're no better than $25 IKEA table tops. Well, unless you think adding two zeros to the price somehow inherently makes something “better.” no_recall posted:I know nothing about games development, but, why is everyone wearing shorts?

It was lazy language anyway. Predatory marketing practices usually refers to big businesses predating smaller ones. I was just upset that someone's life was going to turn to poo poo, because they'd spent a ridiculous amount on a video game.

I'd be fine with Predatory marketing practices if it meant Roberts was using an invisibility device to sneak into backers' homes and stab them with a double-bladed wrist knife before taking their skull home for his display. Although thinking about it, that sounds more like something Sandi would do.

I can see your point but CIG has managed to find a large stupid shaped loophole in consumer protection legislation by never delivering the product and getting the customer to willing, stop asking for a delivery date. It's closer to Scientology, nobody can prove Thetans don't exist, so maybe it is money well spent.
