It is funny (no it's not) that the safest advice you can currently give to gamedevs working for big publishers seems to be: DON'T FINISH THE DAMN GAME! Because there's a high chance they'll be laid off right after the release.😢

A few months ago, I had a couple interviews with EA. Each time, as I personally experienced two layoffs, I asked bluntly the same question (below) And each time, they answered they had no idea what's going to happen, and tried to convince me as much as themselves that everything was fine.😔

Can't wait for the news articles that will try to convince us this is actually a good thing.

He's absolutely right. The Switch is a good example of that, as is Roblox. Kids and teenagers don't find photorealistic graphics beautiful. What interests them most is the gameplay and playing with their friends.

L'avantage, c'est que grace aux Etats Unis, on a un exemple concret de ce qui se passe lorsqu'on donne plus de pouvoir un criminel/délinquant/personne corrompue: ➡️ Encore plus de crime, de délits et de corruption. Les peines d'inéligibilité devraient être a vie.
