Leo, what is going on up there?! I hear its some of the most severe thunderstorms in US history is headed your way. Hail 2 inches in diameter, tornadoes, 80 MPH winds, lightning storms. Be safe.

This looks like Independence Day.

Oh shit

This looks like a Michael Bay movie.

Well with big titles like ACR or Max Payne you can just imagine how some buyers would be overly optimistic.

Being a games buyer for a retailer would be my dream job. I mean, if you pay attention you know what games are going to flop.

I would love to do that too. I would have to believe that retailers get a crazy deal if they order a ton of any given game. Cause I have seen so many copies of certain games, so many that doesnt make any sense to have ordered that if they felt they had to sell every copy.

ANOTHER amazing story on the inside story of the mess of game development. This one is from a blog of a new developer, the founder says stuff like:

Today, the world has gone crazy. Even simple short linear games are developed by hundreds of people and sometimes I really don’t have a clue what all these people are doing. You simply don’t need 300 people and 60 million dollars to make a 5 hour long corridor shooter with 5 types of weapons and 10 levels with established technology.

I know people who worked on some famous franchises. When you ask them what their work on the game was, they usually answer: “Minigun for the second level boss and enemy soldiers in red shirt and blue shirt.” After several months of work! That’s an example of the modern games industry’s “efficiency”. The worst thing about it is that while working on those three models that would normally take two weeks to finish they were constantly crunching.

Its a great read. This industry is a mess.
