Why the heck are you getting on me for? I'm literally agreeing with you my dude. I never said BotW came because of them being called lazy. I said it's being Skyward Sword was criticized and from that the feedback helped create BotW.
This thread is also gamer entitlement in a nutshell. It's not enough to criticise a game because *shock horror* the devs might not act on those criticisms!! So you have to go after the devs themselves so they know that not providing the features you want in a game is unacceptable!!
Still no. We can't criticize anyone like that. I've been put into a team manager/lead role, and it's not fun to get bespoken by "being lazy" when it's hard to juggle the priorities of what the clients need and what we can output with our best abilities.
We're just trying to critique you so you can make a better argument.
Indeed there's no need to be rude, why it's so important for you then to get call developers lazy? What else that is but being rude? Like do you really think that's helpful critique/feedback? What should the devs learn from that? Especially if they've been crunching 6 day weeks with 12 hour days. Work 7 days a week?
That wasn't my intention. Why else do you think that I also brought up publishers to Weltall Zero earlier?
That's not laziness. That's incompetence, mismanagement or cost cutting. Call it what it is.
I've never met a lazy dev (at least an employed one). I don't know your experiences, but normally anyone like that would be let go by any competent company. There's a wealth of people looking for work; there usually isn't a very good reason to hang on to someone like that.
In all my hiring, I've never chose a person that I deem as lazy and I've interviewed countless applicants for coding positions. I think his wording is off because a lazy person doesn't last in the tech industry. I've seen many of them get the boot.
This has nothing to do with the psychological trait known as "laziness" or a matter of "not caring." This is a matter of finance and production decision makers at a company actually taking their jobs very seriously and working very hard to do what they were hired to do -- namely, analyze the financial outlook, predicted spend, and projected incoming revenue for every greenlit project and allocate the company's resources (headcount, technology, hardware) with the goal of minimizing the spend while maximizing revenue. As such, if there is no projected increase in revenue from having X number of artists spend Y number of hours to bump up the texture resolution of in-game assets than they will likely determine that to be out of scope for a given budget and timeline.
If I'm not mistaken, EA upper management is heavily involved with their sports franchises which is why the turnover is so high for Madden leads. I'll see if I can back that up with an article.
you mean to tell me that gamers who have never held down a job DON'T know how to make games!?
We can't just judge the recent EA Sports games like that. Who knows if it's due to the contracts just to sign a deal with the major sports leagues, and that motion capturing new actions and prompts using real-life athletes is off the table?
