When was the last time you made a game?
You’ve come after me before and it’s pathetic. We all know the problems in gamedev are executives who don’t know how to manage or fund projects. Just like you couldn’t manage or fund your own projects.
Yet developers are constantly harassed by people who know nothing about what we do out of complete ignorance. Then get angry because we don’t want to hear their opinion on why unreal engine sucks? Like they even know what it is beyond a YouTube video.
People want to know why their games suck? Not because the chefs can’t cook, but because the restaurant owner keeps cutting costs, firing the chefs and telling them to make meals they know people don’t want.
I don’t mind if people tell me games I work on sucked. I learned early in my career I’d be working on some bad games. APB taught me that. But like many devs I just work hard at my own little corner. I don’t take it personally even if someone says my art is bad. But I don’t have to listen to someone tell me how to do my job better when they don’t know what my job even is.
Or tell me how it is to work in games when they don’t know.
Nobody ever starts these conversations in good faith and escalates them to “oh she doesn’t want to hear what I think about game design even though she isn’t a designer? Wow she’s everything wrong with games… concord or something. Wah.”
