I love it when someone who actually knows what they're talking about enters a thread like this. It quells the tendency for people (almost always men - myself included) to confidently string together a handful of facts (that they once overheard in a cafe) and explain their way to some sort of hot take.
(Not claiming that the conclusions drawn by the GP or GGP are incorrect here - I don't know much about the games industry. Just talking about HN more generally.)
- JSavageOne 6y ago> almost always men no need to generalize an entire gender, especially since that has no relevance to this discussion
- rewq4321 6y agoIt's a pattern that does tend to exist in my experience, and talking openly and constructively about problems is just part of fixing them. To be clear, I'm not saying that all (or even most) guys have this tendency. I think you may have mentally categorised my comment into the "men bad" bin, but that's really not what I was going for. It's literally a pattern that I have noticed in my own behaviour, so I'm not out to attack anyone here.
