You can trace this all back to around 2009 when EA, Activision and other big publishers went and bought all the smaller studios and closed them. Pretty soon after that games became all about making money for some ephemeral corporate overlord. Bonuses dried up, disappeared or were used as incentive because "Yeah, the pay isn't as good as it should be but wait till your bonus at the end of a three year development cycle! It'll make up for that!"

And we believed them. We just wanted to make games and have a nice stable life. Prior to 2009, there were a lot of independant studios were the bonuses were seriously like $90-200k. Maybe more. Insomniac used to take it's entire staff and their families on a paid cruise after they finished a game. When my team released COD:WWII? Our release party was in the courthouse in San Francisco and we had to pay our own hotel rooms if we didn't want to drive home drunk. For AW we at least got a plus one and hotel fare, even if we only got to go to San Diego(less than an hour flight), spend the night and then go back home.

So we went from being able to comfortably afford a place to live in a(more reasonably priced tbf) Bay Area to having Senior game devs, people with 10+ years of experience, having to live with multiple roommates because they didn't make enough money.

We live in constant fear of the studio closing, getting laid off(which I think 50% of the industry is laid off atm), and we can't make new small indy companies because we don't have the money to without dealing with venture capitalists who will want say over the game.

The real reason "This Game sucks now!" is because we're so fucking burned out and people who don't work at the studio, play the games, play games at all, never have played games, are making the decisions about plot, game play, art, ect. We're trying to do more with less. To make a huge game like COD or Overwatch or anything, you're looking at wrangling at least five outsourced game studios being managed by one extremely depressed outsourcing manager because your staff locally is like 1/3 what you'd need to make a game 1/3 as big.

TLDR: People complain about the $60 for an unfinished game and I want to tell all of you that it is 100% the corporation's fault.

sorry, this went into a tangent. I'm big mad about all this bullshit.

I saw someone referencing that "what if a game with the depth of Disco Elysium but about finding lost cat in the Alps" tweet (to mock it, natch), and it finally made me figure out why I get angry when people mock that tweet

The reason we don't have games like that is not because they couldn't exist. It's a workers' rights issue.

Did you got ZR additional 5 missions for season 1? (The Call of Duty WWII ones?) They were uploaded today and going to last until like 3rd of December. Cool story about Ben Jones - previous boyfeiend of Janine's and Brunswick demise

This is the first I’ve heard of this (the official ZR! twitter account confirms the news) so I don’t have time to transcribe anything today, but I’ll get started tomorrow and I’ll do my best to have transcripts up on the blog as soon as possible.

Thanks so much for bringing this to my attention!

Update: here’s how you can get the transcripts now that these missions are no longer available.

Rest In Peace Xbox.

It’s not dead yet but the kids are dropping my controllers and are already repeatedly pushing the eject button fighting over some Lego game and Grand Theft Auto V. My storage is already low too. It has been fun. I’m just glad I was able to beat Wolfenstein before they came to murder my equipment.

At least I won’t have to deal with them accidentally buying anything from the store in the future I took off all my payment options lmao.

You were a good friend.

Been trying that CoD:WWII multiplayer

It is modern CoD fast-twitch game of angles, which gets absolutely ridiculous set in 1944

Like, it tries to retcon red dot sights into World War II

New vid up pups!

Time for some good ol' fashioned split-screen!

Call of Duty: WWII el más vendido del 2017

Todo el mundo lo pedía y Call of Duty se lo da. La decisión de Activisión de regresar la franquicia a la Segunda Guerra Mundial no tardó en dar frutos, y vaya que los dio, ya que CoD: WWII fue el juego más vendido de noviembre del 2017.

Según el grupo NPD (proveedor líder de información tanto de consumidores como detallistas para un amplio rango de sectores), el juego no sólo fue el más vendido…

What is the Call of Duty Missions from? Is it from the Halloween Race that was going on?

They are five new missions set in early season one of the Zombies Run! universe, with the goal of promoting the upcoming new Call of Duty game. There’s more information in an announcement in the app.

Update: here’s how you can get the transcripts now that these missions are no longer available.
