Stop harassing game developers
Start harassing CEOs of game developer studios
If there is an actual issue to bring up (like shitty manipulative business practices), yes absolutely. But I would rather the group of people mentioned that are apparently just spewing general hatred become better people.
Start harassing CEOs of game developer studios
I’m sure that they won’t be able to hear you, underneath that big pile of money they sleep in.
And hey, even if you do upset them, they’ll just cry themselves to sleep in that same big pile of money.
Actually let’s even take it one step further.
Start harassing the shareholders. Start harassing the boards.
Lemmy seems to think CEOs are in charge of all the things. Yeah, no. They answer to the board of directors, and the board will fire their happy ass if they don’t bring in the $$$. They’ll also fire them for not obeying orders.
Take Pao from reddit. They hired her to make unpopular decisions and take the heat. Kicked her to the curb with the quickness once she acted as ordered.
This is why it’s sane that CEOs demand a “golden parachute” in their contract. “OK. You can order me to do some fucked up shit and then fire me for doing what you asked? Imma need a fat check at the end.” LOL, you’d be a fool to not contract that.
Yeah, you’re just human beings, but your bosses are greedy fuckers. I don’t hate you specifically, I just hate most AAA studios.
Do that many people look up devs to harass? I don’t think I can name any unless people like Hideo Kojima count as one.
It’s just Kotaku outrage blogspam
It’s definitely been a problem for CSGO, RuneScape, and Destiny devs in the past to name a few
There are definitely people who look up specific devs to dox and harrass.
I wouldn’t say it happens more often than your local female meteorologist gets harassed, but it does happen enough that if I became a game dev no one online would ever know.
Welcome to the world of guest interaction.
Sincerely, A Chef.
