The developers put a premium on working at a game company to follow their "passion". There's so many of those types of people that the true high quality developers know they're just not going to get enough money to be worth it. It's really hard to get execs to value quality and knowledge when they see such a big financial discrepancy.
A guy I know who was making 90k a year seven years ago signed with Microsoft recently for 547k (part of that being RSU). Is not like he's the head of a division or anything, just an architect. I don't think any video game developer anywhere makes that unless they have an indie game they own that pops off.

Any career that is accessible and can remotely be construed as fun is an immediate race to the bottom.

What's that mean? They recorded everyone's private conversations and are gonna put all of them on a website or something so woke employers can root out The Problematic among them?
Surprised they can even do this and not sure why they would, if I'm understanding the situation correctly.

Fact Check-Image saying Sony will publish PlayStation group chats by May 2023 is from satire account
A meme which says Japanese technology company Sony will release all PlayStation party chats to the public by May 2023 stems from a satirical Instagram account. Its format as a post from a news outlet has been mistaken by some social media users to be real.

Makes no sense from a logistical standpoint. Why the fuck would they be recording that shit and storing it somewhere? Millions and millions of chats every day, every week, every month and on and on. Its a stupid assertion.
Now if this was the government then Id be like, yeah maybe.

This is out now, made by former TellTale devs apparently. Seems to have decent reviews? Anyone try it yet?

Me too, the PS5 version kept getting delayed and now it doesn't even have a release scheduled according to Gamestop...

Thought it was going to play like XCOM at first and was super pumped. Then I saw it plays like Dragon Age and now Im no where near as excited.

Assuming you mean Dragon Age Origins, either one works for me.

This looks fucking great. Perfect setting for this style of game. As long as it's real-time with pause, I'm fuckin' in.

Probably fake.
That said, I'm not looking forward to remakes or re-releases of Metroid Fusion or Super removing the death animation.
