the truth about all game development is: AAA: Beaurcracy makes it hard to do anything so the game isn't getting updated Indie: Jeff got depressed so the game didn't get a patch in 6 months, but now he's too embarrassed to come back so the game isn't getting updated

Twitter has a list of neo-nazi accounts because Germany has strict laws about that, but Twitter doesn't actually do anything about the problems they cause, it just hides them from German accounts.

Epic "forgot" to lay me off. So I got laid of too, but didn't find out until yesterday while I was at home... with my wife they just laid off. At least one other person also found out Friday they were "forgotten" about on Thursday. Not sure how many will be hit.

Satan: "What evil shall we do this day?" Crowd of demons: "War!" "Famine!" "Pestilence!" Nerdy demon in the back: "An entire D&D book where rooms don't line up with the grids!" *gasping*

We're all artists and we're all a mess. Looking back on old titles and claiming they were flawless back in the day undermines a lot of reality. Ask any speedrunner. I love older RPGs, but so many are unbeatable without patches (Arena is the worst offender imo)

Game devs who have released a game: do you have any notable examples of placeholder assets that stayed in for a very long time during production

I will never forget a veteran dev telling me "I love my game, it's my baby, but my baby has been around for a while and now it's a 30-something with a drug habit. I want a new baby."

Did you not play Masquerade, Morrowind or Arcanum? Those are like my top 3 games of my teen years and they were SO BUGGY. Masquerade was beyond help and NEEDED the now obligatory fan patch. Morrowind was all over the place with bugs. Arcanum? INFESTED with bugs

Wow, it's almost like it has nothing to do with ethics in journalism or games or anything except harassing women online.
