I’d rather have a bigger bonus than a switch 2 but I guess it’s better than layoffs
It’s literally in the title that they also received 7500$ bonus. Or is ignoring everything just to complain a cool thing to do still? (Also 2 weeks paid time off, but hey, I’m sure that’s normal for most jobs)
Its this short-term cost cutting/outsourcing thats plaguing everything these days. In my own industry i’ve seen massive brain drain and decline in quality/morale as people are driven away since the bottom line is in conflict with worker motivations. Its good to see stories like this where people are taken care of.
This isn’t even something you should be doing for your devs just because being nice to them is nice.
So many indies on their second and third games are showing that once you get the ball rolling on institutional knowledge (skills and tools developed during the making of a game, contributing to the next) you can SERIOUSLY up your game. And for a lot less cost than it would have been to go that big from the start.
Meanwhile big studios are dumping staff and therefore expertise like it’s no big deal. Switching to a revolving door of subcontractors who can’t possibly get to intimately know the games they work on.
That honestly makes me want to buy the game. Sadly, it’s not really a genre I enjoy very much.
They added difficulties now so lots more people are getting into it even if it’s a souls game. Some of the bosses are really cool and the dlc adds some of the best bosses I fought. I can definitely recommend at least trying it if you can afford it
Good, I hope the continue to kick ass.
