We did exactly the same for helicopter blades on Far Cry 3!

The truth of video game production is that production labor is a fixed entity; the work of production *must* be done for the game to ship and it will be done. The difference between good and bad producers is that good producers do it, while bad producers have it done around them.

Silhouette of Batman from Batman: The Animated Series

Were 90s kids clamoring for a Batman cartoon with 1930s Art Deco aesthetics? Is that what the market demanded? Or did some really smart creative people have a vision and make a genre-defining hit that sustained 20 years of TV shows? If you want success look for vision, not just metrics.

I lied. Ended up playing and finishing 1000xResist, and absolutely loved it. Ghost of Yotei next, for real this time.

Ghost of Yotei, but I don't think I'll go for platinum 😊

YouTube video by People Make Games The Rockstar Workers Fired Before They Could Finish GTA 6

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.

That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.

I spent well over a month talking to investors to get the actual data behind what’s happening to the games industry. I was going to say “enjoy!” but it’s, uh, not great.
