Is this parody? The lines blur nowadays.
- Mz 10y agoI have heard it is a send up of this: http://venturebeat.com/2016/04/16/game-developers-must-avoid-the-wage-slave-attitude/ http://venturebeat.com/2016/04/16/game-developers-must-avoid... Though I have not read the piece it supposedly satirizes.
- iansane 10y agoI just read both, it is a parody
- Kristine1975 10y agoIt's a parody. The articles even start the same way: I read this article by Dean Takahashi the other day, and my jaw nearly hit the floor...
- bryanrasmussen 10y agoI read this comment and my jaw nearly hit the top of my sneakers but it missed and hit the floor instead (stupid jaw), was it a parody or a blurry line when Latka Gravas dressed up like Elvis, was it a parody or a blurry line when George Bush had sex with that Segway, I don't know those answers but I do know answers about this article - it was quite obviously a parody.
- mcv 10y agoBits like this suggest that it is satire: "as if the satisfaction of making Unreal Tournament VII isn’t enough to “feed their families” or “send their child to college.”" and: "Working for a video game company is entrepreneurship in a way that I never explain in this article." He's laying it on thick in the first paragraph. I know there are other articles that spout similarly idiotic ideas and mean them seriously, but I'm fairly certain that this is satire. Edit: Actually, reading further, almost every single sentence is just dripping with sarcasm.
