I don’t know why Schreier hyphenates “video-game”.

    Studios are subcontracting so much shit nowadays that I’m more interested in seeing what comes out of non AAA outfits than anything else. US games are mostly shit presently, the lion’s share of the work is done by low income workers and the peeps stateside get all the money and easy well paid consultant gigs and just enough to cash in on the DEI state subsidies and gov support. It’s absolutely 0 surprise the games are shit, it’s basically sweatshop game making. The funny part is Neil Druckman playing the saviour super woke evolved writer (after stepping on Hennig) but then subcontracts sweatshop work to make his assets. You couldn’t make this shit up.

        Druckman hiring a lot overseas to cheapen asset production

        Receipts for hiring

        Ousting of Hennig

        DEI for Americans but not if you’re from overseas. Only US BIPOC count, the rest are shithole fodder.

        Tax credits from WOTC are quite steep and consultancy can be offset in the R&D tax credit. That’s before mentioning local state incentives.

        Typical US companies playing dirty and acting high and mighty. Neoliberalism at its best! And, ofc, the useful idiots that believe in the myth of US exceptionalism being terminally offended at reality checks.

          Your “ousting of Hennig” is hilariously weak, since your sources only source has since backtracked its reports and apologised.

          The rest of your comment just reeks too much of buzzwords that I can barely comprehend it, though I tried.

            Several people who have worked for Naughty Dog say Druckmann and Straley stopped seeing eye-to-eye with Hennig, and that they had fundamental disagreements on where to take the Uncharted series. When Hennig left, she signed a non-disparagement agreement with the studio that would prevent both her and Naughty Dog from making negative public comments about what had happened, according to people familiar with the arrangement.

            From “blood, sweat and pixels” which I own. I guess Schreier is also an unreliable source…

            You reply like the typical reddit chud: Find something to latch on to, ignore the wider message, ad hominem, leave feeling victorious. Use vote manipulation to feel good about their chud selves with fake internet points.

            At the end of the day, Mr woke Druckman doesn’t care for equality, if he did, he wouldn’t hire slavers.

              Perhaps you should have started with that source, then. I just pointed out your other source meant nill.

              As for the rest, I haven’t downvoted you at all, but my guess on what your personality was like seems to be correct with all the choice buzzwords you spout. Not really a good look for the crusade you’re trying to expose, friend.
