Really is a shame what has happened to one of the greatest game studios of all time.
Their legacy is very much in the past now, this is just a weekend at Bernie’s now
what has happened to one of the greatest game studios of all time.
Microslop hoovering up all the development studios. That’s what happened
They just destroy them too. One after the other.
I wish Carnack would emerge from the void and offer to buy back his first child. id Software and idTech could be so well repositioned to take a cut out of Epic’s pie. Unreal performance is utterly abysmal these days. If only idTech had similar licensing to Unreal…
“Unreal performance is utterly abysmal these days”
Looks at Carmack’s Doom running at a REALLY impressive 20fps at 320x200
How about unionizing? There’s your plan right there.
There would have to be a blanket nationwide video game developer union, regardless of the employer.
Sounds awesome
It’s seriously needed. I have friends that work in the industry and I have to keep checks on them; I’ve never seen them so depressed. I get it, when four projects get cancelled in a row and everyday is a question if you’re on the chopping block next.
That sounds so rough. You get the job you always wanted, only to live in constant anxiety.
I really hope things change for the better.
Oh it’s been rough, and we’ve been friends since grade school. I went a different route but he went with the game developer route. It’s hard even for me to get him to chill out a bit these days. I know he’s not suicidal; but I do wonder if the stress will kick him in, he’s been getting sick a lot so I can tell he’s got a lot of strain on his immune system from the constant stress.
Stress like that is way worse than it looks. It wears you out from the inside. To your point- it weakens your immune system, which makes everything else worse.
It really is heartbreaking what this world can do to people. I hope they can find success is whatever direction they take.
Yep, I’ll keep talking to them every other day but hopefully it gets better. I even offered them a place to stay if shit hits the fan.
It’s not incompetence, this is calculated slop.
calculated slop
That’s a great way to call it
I guess you know better than the guy working there

It’s “id”, not Identification document software.
The Wolfenstein 3-D era logo was in all caps. Maybe OP is nostalgic.
It isn’t incompetence. Management is tearing things down and will take whatever isn’t nailed down with them.
