>becoming a game developer, ever
What a faggot. Should've studied electrical engineering.
Fun Fact: If Yea Forums likes a studio, they're usually garbage internally, and the smart talent works for A/AA studios making games you've never heard of.
t. sr. game dev
No, but (((corporations))) yes.
What studios even qualify as 'A/AA'?
Insomniac is a very "programmers do the heavy lifting" place. That includes level/systems/environment design, with some art support as well.
He seems the type who can't be a jack of all trades/master of none. Making him both useless in the AAA salt mines, AND the smaller studios.
No, this is how you become stronger and better. I guarantee you he has improved ten fold.
There's hundreds of them. They just don't have hollywood movie budgets for marketing, so you don't even know their games exist.
sounds like capitalism would be the mistake
Stupid. Every project will have hardships you'll learn from, but internal incompetence and treating your employees like shit is entirely unecessary. Nobody improves or gets "tougher" from mismanagement and mistreatement.
The reality is that AAA is a conveyor belt of starry eyed college kids who get burnt through for cheap. It's why teams don't manage to gather any experience to make anything decent anymore, and it's how disasters like ME: Andromeda happen.
Like said, everyone smart/experienced is in the indie or AA space.
Okay, name some.
Please give us some examples.
Is working for AAA studios the ultimate cuckoldry?
I cannot think or comprehend of anything more cucked than working for an AAA studio. Honestly, think about it rationally. You are coding, debugging, modeling and animating a game for at least 18 months solely to accomplish someone else's vision. All the hard work you put into your beautiful little game - creating a proprietary engine, implementing gameplay mechanics, making sure the online infrastructure works well, debugging it, and all the overtime. All of it has one simple result: accomplishing the vision of your boss.
Created the perfect game? Great. Who benefits? If you're lucky, you get a bonus, but don't expect royalties. Your boss gets to fuck tight prostitutes every night. He gets the benefits from the multi-million selling games that came from the way you worked so hard.
As a man who is working at an AAA studio, you are LITERALLY dedicating at least 20 months of your life simply to fulfill the dream game of another man rather than your own vision. It is the ULTIMATE AND FINAL cuck. Think about it logically
there's no such thing as A or AA studios.
Absolutely undeniably based
Sounds awful. Glad I'm just some code monkey programming business-end applications.
He should make his own games
Why depend on others?
So they dont exist, got it.
The Yea Forums right-wing brigade will praise this. Conservatard gamers love corporations fucking over workers because they get their precious video games in the end. And if you don't like it or want to change it? "just get another job you faggot kek". And that's probably coming from an unemployed 19 year old teenager who has never worked a day in his life.
Election tourists are a cancer on this site.
>oh noes I have to do actual work to keep my job
Devs are hysterical faggots, what's new.
absolutely thought out and logicpilled
It should be illegal to work past 40h a week unless there's an apocalypse-tier emergency, like "whole town is on fire and only you can do something about it".
>when a meme unironically makes sense
All those focus home interactive games especially the warhammer ones are AA. Also Hellblade and Plague Tale. CDPR started out as AA with the first witcher.
Why else would I lurk here?.
>77 hour workweeks is normal
In what world? At that point you barely have time to sleep and eat and definitely have no time for yourself.
The way the industry evolved was.
I mean they fit the western model of exploitation perfectly so I would say that video games were intentional. Most luxury items come with a real human cost in the western world that's not even in the fine print. Most people could care less to explore that aspect of it so here we are. You keep throwing money at the biggest offenders and they face no real scrutiny or backlash.
Work for an AAA game studio
>70+ hours work week
>Overtime is basically required to keep your job so it's just essentially regular work hours, but overtime isn't paid
>Don't have any creative control
>Will most likely end up working for another generic shooter
>Have to do what your boss tells you, but he has to do what his own boss tells him, who has to do what the shareholders are asking of him
>Don't own anything after the project is done
>Game could sell 1 million or 10 millions, won't have an impact on you
Work at any other programming job
>40 hours work week
>Overtime is seldom required, will be compensated if it is
>Often paid just as good or even better
>Leaves you with plenty of free-time, letting you create your own game in your spare time, which you will have complete creative control over and will get ALL the benefits from it if it becomes popular
based and anti-cuckpilled
Videogames ARE a mistake.
Try working in mines mate, 84h weeks are the norm. But söyboys would never be able experience it since they'd break down after the first day anyway.
The original pasta was retarded, but this is 100% true.
Women trannies Jews and normies made games a mistake everything was perfect before they all got interested
>working for game studios is a cancerous waste of your health 9 times out of 10
Gee, its not like we’ve had 50 million examples of this the past 5 years alone. Such is the state of AAA game development.
Video games are fine, AAA development was the mistake. You never see these problems coming out of smaller companies.
Anyone who willingly goes into a mine knowing they will perish or severely shorten their lives deserves to be there. I don't care if they think they are tougher for it they just take what they can get.
this. why even bother. if youre programming video games, you can easily get a job doing ANY OTHER development job with a quality of life better than most jobs since your work can be done remotely most of the time
the only reason AAA companies can do this is because they have hundreds of spergs dying to work in video games no matter what. if that dries up youll see working conditions improve VERY quickly
Damn, absolutely based
>What are the cRPG studios
>What are the literal dozens of studios Microshit and THQ Noridc are buying practically every day
Jesus Yea Forums.
>w-wojakposting!
Low quality image for low quality posters.
>exploration mining
>thinking it's dangerous
It's hard as fuck since you're on site 12h/d working your ass off, but not dangerous. The shit you think about happens maybe South America or Africa, nowhere else in the world tough.
Nobody forced him to take that job
Out a patreon up and make incest porn games
See the money roll in
if you're going to bring politics into this unwarranted I might as well point out that "conservatard" is not a clever portmanteau and as such is unlikely to hurt any feelings.
insults have to be clever or brutal, this is neither. Step up your game.
Name them you retard come on
Name 10 at least, they are so numerous after all right
The hell do you think those sorry souls in America and everywhere else are doing? Mining in exosuits with clean and crisp air? The are cramped, dirty, hot praying they don't get gas build up and die earlier than their fathers with the inevitable lung cancer. We got a few more toys and a few more regulations but they aren't doing much better in terms of human cost.
So what does he do now? Where does 3 years of being a videogame programmer land you after you quit the industry?

10 goddamn seconds in google, you african retard.
The suits in charge and people that suck their dicks are the only mistake. You cannot rush a game and expect people not to notice. It happens now every day and these cunt suits act surprised when people call them out on it. Games aren't like making cheap chinese products that you can pump out and people just accept it because "you get what you pay for". Companies are selling you intentionally unfinished games to sell the other half to you slowly over the course of a few years, and they expect you to pay full price for each update and additional content.
And people do. They do this, which is why games are the way they are now. Every cocksucking youtuber and streamer and faggot "journalist" are gonna buy all this shit because they live off of it, so they need the big corporation to sell them a game in chunks so they can push out content and articles. It's a fucked system. That's the real mistake.
>write that this shit only happens in SA
Are you unable to read or just pretend to not be able to understand? The US and Australia require shafts to have proper air ventilation and the digging itself gets done by machines that are remotely controlled. Christ, you really never even saw a mine from the outside, let alone the inside. Exploration mining is even better since you're on the outdoors the whole time anyway, which is where most people nowadays work.
This is almost all jobs these days. Soon it will be the norm for normal developers too. Yea Forums would know this if they actually held a job.
>I do external work on a 1099 B2B basis only.
>I will not accept work as a full-time W2 employee for your company.
>I own my own company, I have my own office. I will not travel to or work in your office.
>I don't take programmer tests.
>I have my own products, and prefer to work on them. Your offer must be very compelling for me to drop them to work for you.
>My minimum rate is $100/hr.
He must not be hurting for money or work if he can afford to swing his balls around like this. Good for him. I'm happy the AAA games industry didn't destroy another person.
>debugging it
Bullshit and you know it, developers, even indies, don't do that anymore because they don't have to because of digital distribution, which is one of the reasons it was pushed. They can just release a patch later.
Wew, a bunch of studios who make trash being bought for manpower, what a shock
damn game devs really do live in a society
