Topic	Who are the laziest devs in the industry?
Darmik 01/07/18 6:15:38 PM #18:	ZombiePelican posted... Darmik posted... I don't think any AAA devs are lazy. Games are freaking hard to make. Implying there isn't a lazy way of doing things or that AAA devs never cut corners Even shitty games like Iron Man 2 have hard working developers. https://www.kotaku.com.au/2015/05/crunch-time-why-game-developers-work-such-insane-hours/ People crunch on all those shovelware licensed games, too -- the ones you see for $US10 at GameStop just a few weeks after they come out. "You know what's worse than crunch? Death march crunch on games no one wants," said a developer who worked on Sega's Iron Man 2. "Mandatory 12 hour days, 6 days a week. If you were salaried (like I just now was) you did not get overtime pay. You did get food though. Oh and there was a keg in the office." As a reward for those 70-hour work-weeks, the staff all lost their jobs. On 2 April, 2010, a month before Iron Man 2 came out, Sega shut down the studio. (For a look at why layoffs are also so common in the video game industry, see our feature from last year.) Lazy devs indeed --- Kind Regards, Darmik <cite>Darmik posted [p:893609702] in Who are th...
