The teams are good, the leadership is terrible
The teams are good, the leadership is terrible
Pay is pretty competitive for games. Perks are good.
Senior leadership and the people with the power to make decisions are more interested in purse tightening than making good games. Most teams are just keeping the lights on, and most games get canned before they even see the light of day. Teams will say they have learned from mistakes, then make the exact same ones again.
Get people who know how to make games into leadership, not people who know how to run a business. It is doing nothing but destroying whatever creativity teams have.
