1.5 weeks? There was already some gaudy, not fitting the theme/period skins available in the Vault Edition on launch.

Not abnormal? Just because a thing exists somewhere it doesn’t immediately make it normal.

“Hey everyone, I saw this video online and apparently it’s normal to shit in your own mouth now”.

What are you on about? Seeing a line of code doesn’t make you a developer.

I feel like I only need to reply to this, because this is the second time I’ve directly replied to something you said using your own words, to then have you say those words don’t matter.

It also completely ignores the point I was making that some “QA” code, some pick through code, some may not understand it at all, but why are any of those not classed as developers?

You design a character? Not a developer. You test the game? Not a developer? You develop the story and draw the art? Not a developer. None of that is writing the game’s code. You can be both a developer and an artist, for sure, if you write the game’s code.

Oh I see, so you are indeed only calling programmers developers. Absolutely unhinged take.

Maybe if it’s the invincible guy, that’s worth it.

Make random comparisons from other industries all you want, this whole conversation is about game devs and to think that people inherently involved in the development of a game “are not developers” is absolutely part of the industry’s current problems.

This ancient attitude is the same upper management position where cutting swathes of knowledgable established QA will bring short term profits only to later hire even more fresh QAs, often contractors or outsourced.

You think QA has never seen a line of code? If we ignore what another commenter mentioned that there are high level QA jobs that are very technical, or are literally coding positions, even a lot of entry level QA also have formal education on game design. Many go on to be designers, coders, artists. Do they only become actual developers then?

What’s the imaginary line to being part of game dev to you?

If you’re trying to hint that Quality Assurance doesn’t have “developer” in the title, therefore they aren’t part of development, I better tell all of the programmers, tech leads and game directors I know that they aren’t real developers either.

Someone must have used “unimaginable” and “AI” in the same slide presenting to the CEO. Understandable misunderstanding.

QA aren’t devs? I would like to know your definition of development.

I can believe QA didn’t find that issue with a 7 month long soak test

Ahh America. Land of the free, home of the Union busting corporations literally making robot scabs

Meat Waves sounds like a microwave meal brand that’s just a slab of lumpy unspecified meat.

I don’t want to think about it at all

He appears to be wearing a zombie president costume, so it’s a character piece

Neck seems optimistic

You must not have seen Walz playing Crazy Taxi with AOC then! I reckon he has at least dipped a toe in Fortnite.

Gods forbid we play any games for recreational purposes. Everyone knows the only joy is in the thrill of the lootbox and the endless grind of GAAS

This is how one outs themselves as a teenager these days huh?

Found the Buisness major

This quote gives confirmation he is indeed a Project Manager.

It’s all well and good guillotining him, but what if the guillotene was sharp? Someone might get a nasty cut!
