>Hey sport you know that game we're making, gotta bump up the deadline, the deal just closed with epic games they wanted done by next week. Call me on the range if you need anything.
Why does Yea Forums defend their developers being taken advantage of by bourgeoisie?
Yea Forums also supports sony censorship, exclusivity over multiplats, devs being forced to work 100 hours a week, etc. the answer is because not many people here actually play video games and instead like watching people get mad for teh epik lulz.
David King
Because the reality is those developers like EA, that add multiple flaming hoops, every few weeks, have been doing that for nearly a decade.
Andrew Wilson was a producer at one point, so it's no wonder why Madden has almost no problems rehashing the same exact garbage, while other departments constantly see demands.
Thomas Powell
If anyone had any balls in the devs they’d either tell the companies to fuck off or start a new independent business
Samuel Reyes
>Call me on the range What the hell does it even mean?
Owen Hughes
Honestly, why do devs even bother? Just ship the game unfinished? It'll take a few hits in sales after launch, but it won't really matter because marketing for DLC pre-orders will ensure the game does great numbers the first week. The rest can be worked on leisurely over the next few months via updates.
Noah Sullivan
Developers are scum and deserve worse.
Justin Collins
Why does Yea Forums think developers equal lowly programmers?

>bring in unions >80% of staff gets laid off overnight >bring in contract workers you ply with the promise of getting hired maybe at term's end >psyche, that never happens >only execs and very senior guys ever see union perks >small indie devs can't afford to hire anyone for what muh union calls a fair salary >eventually, AAA will move out of the country Thank you, based communism.
Since developers and game journalists are so passionate about social justice and resisting oppression, they should have solved this issue a long time ago and it's ridiculous for them to try to get gamers involved.
And anyway I don't give a fuck, they deserve to become homeless and die of starvation.
Brandon Fisher
>>bring in contract workers you ply with the promise of getting hired maybe at term's end
that already happens

China is state capitalist at best
Christian Parker
> games company goes bust because outsourcing to china/india/wherever means the games arent as good > companies start hiring talent again, this time with unions safeguarding the devs rights > games get made again really makes you think
Chase Kelly
>"games" It's still going to be the same old social justice shit.
Benjamin Moore
>unions are communism
based and boomerpilled
Levi Roberts
based.
Jacob Wilson
No one will trust developers and no one would ever pre order
Henry James
And it will happen EVERYWHERE on EVERY LEVEL.
None of this works when industry can just pack up and move to another country where this shit doesn't hold sway. This is a big part of what globalism is about. They'll still sell products to you though.
Vidya seemed to do fine until it bloated up and assumed a McDonalds production model. Find out where we're going wrong and eliminate the issues.
Christopher Brown
>Japan doesn’t give a shit about shitty western practices >continues to make superior games Ok retard.
Elijah Walker
Most of the game developers complaining are neon haired trannys so I dont really care
Adrian Lopez
>some fag on Yea Forums disagreed with me so the whole of this board is awful grr!
He's correct though. A lot of Yea Forums defends shit as long as their favorite company does it
Isaiah Jackson
only bourgeoisie uses the term bourgeoisie
Angel Gomez
They're a means of workers exerting control over the means of production, wtf else do you need to qualify it? Not full communism obviously but a step in that direction.
You've never worked for a good manager in your life. Good managers make their teams work better and make better stuff. I know it's hard to believe when you've only worked at McDick's and Target.
David Mitchell
Only discord trannies and console warriors suck corporate cock here. Most people don't care about developers at all.
Josiah Bell
>Yea Forums defends shit as long as they can use it to shitpost
ftfy
Adam Williams
>lmaoo wagie wagie I'm such a great neet >why are you defending developers for exploiting these poor human beings? The duality of Yea Forumstards
John King
If you're a stupid cuck who works for a AAA company than you deserve it desu
The consumer won't care until it hurts their purchase. The employees won't care until it hurts their hours or paycheck. The execs won't care until it hurts direct profit margins. The stock holders won't care until it hurts their investments.
Rarely do these groups overlap in gains and losses, so rarely will they stand together on policies.
But to more directly answer your question, it's not just negligence, the execs have shills planted in their company and consumer groups to reduce risks of dissent. You can call them out and even prove their presence but there's no real way to stop them reaching some ignorant idiot or willing whale eventually. Here we are today.
Game was rigged from the start.

>They're a means of workers exerting control over the means of production
They're a means of making the employer/employee relation more balanced, nowhere near exerting control over the means of production.
Elijah Campbell
>people shitpost to make other people angry on an anonymous image board you're not taking the arguments here seriously, are you? you can't possibly be that stupid, right?
Everyone who defends it is either an uderagedb& who hasn't worked a day of their life or a bootlicker /pol/fag who is calling this "based and redpilled" because 1/1000 of the people being forced to do these 100 hour weeks are trans. There is literally no logical reason to defending this type of shit. >J-J-Just quit! Good luck finding another job in this competitive industry, their work conditions shouldn't be that bad >T-T-T-Tranny!! Not an actual argument
Maybe quit the industry altogether and stop being a mentally stunted "I love videogames when I grow up I wanna make video games" manchild? Get a real job in a respectable industry instead?
Gavin Sullivan
Who the fuck is going to make your precious games if everyone quits
Parker Richardson
Maybe we're too busy playing games to worry about political garbage. It's time to fuck off back to 8gag, Nancy.
