But it's apparent that the culture doesn't prevent success even in other industries
- EliRivers 8y agoYet it could be impeding success, like throwing darts at a board while blindfolded. I'll still hit the board sometimes. So is the blindfold no impediment?
- TomMarius 8y agoI completely agree. Never wanted to say otherwise, just that it doesn't prevent it. I don't think your metaphor is correct, though. Some people actually thrive in this environment (of course most of the time at the cost of others, but let's put that aside - not that it's not a problem), who thrives while blindfolded?
- majewsky 8y ago> Who thrives while blindfolded? Those people that solve Rubik's Cubes while blindfolded, maybe?
- TomMarius 8y agoI'm not sure that's thriving. They can do it very well, but the blindfold doesn't improve their performance.
- glenneroo 8y agoI don't even understand why the blindfold analogy is even useful or relevant to the entire discussion. It's just adding another layer of complexity to an already complicated issue.
- xsace 8y agoWell I still think it shouldn't come as a surprise. We've got many example of successful industries with such culture, why would video game work any different.
- rsynnott 8y agoThe average company in the video games industry isn't like what's described; it does seem to be especially bad.
