The biggest issue facing Modern Gaming is the absolutely unhinged, sociopathic corporate leadership who see video games not as entertainment or a form of art, but as a guaranteed ROI.
They will destroy thousands of careers if their work doesn't generate maximum revenue.
'Overwatch' director Jeff Kaplan on what broke him and made him leave Blizzard:
• Blizzard began focusing too much on 'let's make lots of money really fast' and set hefty revenue goals
• He says he was told if the game didn’t hit the benchmarks, 'we're gonna lay off 1,000 people and that's gonna be on you'
"It was the biggest 'fuck you' moment I've had in my career ... I believed I would never work anywhere besides Blizzard ... and I was like 'we're done here'"
"I wish developers would understand their own value more and stop handing the golden goose to people who don't deserve it"
