Literally everything you need to know about what to expect when you meet "Lord" Martin Hutchinson. I would like to extend my apology for those who interacted with him in this video π€£. RDR2 RP (True Grit Rp Server) #RDR2RP#RedM#RedMRP
This is true. I won't pretend the recent Dragon Age or Anthem were great games. I tolerated them, but I can't say I particularly enjoyed them. But the gaming industry seems to be heading down the same path as the movie industry. There used to be films for all walks of life. You loved some, hated others, but there was a market for everyone. These days, if a film doesn't appeal to absolutely everyone, it seems the studio is suddenly on borrowed time.
The same thing is happening to game studios, and it's genuinely horrible to watch. Sorry for the earful, but it's all becoming about corporate egos and chasing engagement rather than creating something meaningful. It shouldn't be this way. Games are imagination brought to life. They're interactive books, worlds built by passionate people from all walks of life, sharing their creativity with the rest of us. And I think it's a real shame that we're losing sight of that.
The state of the gaming industry right now is genuinely heartbreaking. Behind every headline are real people, families, and careers. My heart goes out to everyone affected, especially those Iβve had the privilege of working with. No matter the business decisions being made, the human cost should never be overlooked.
You built worlds that inspired millions, and I wouldn't be where I am today as a full-time content creator without the work you and so many other talented studios have put into the games industry.
It's heartbreaking to see so much talent affected by corporate bureaucracy and boardroom egos. My heart goes out to everyone involved.
If there's anything I can do to help anyone on your team find a new opportunity or a fresh start, please reach out. It's not much, but it's what I can offer.
The gaming industry will be poorer without you, BioWare. Thank you for the worlds you've created, the stories you've told, and the inspiration you've given so many of us. π‘β₯οΈ
@shayru_alg You can cut people to save money, but money can be replaced. Experience, knowledge, and the people who built your game cannot be so easily replaced.
