It’s weird that people just accept an insane working culture of staying every day until midnight.
So many crap games get made, surely we could afford to cut half of them and redirect the resources towards the other half?
- nradov 3y agoWho is "we"? There is no central planning agency that can redirect resources across the games industry. If workers want shorter hours then they need to push for that through collective bargaining or legislation.
- Doches 3y agoSure, but the challenge with that idea is that -- as with so many things -- which half do you cut? It helps if you think of games as _media_ rather than as _software_. Sure, at least half of movies released in a given year are crap, but how can you know (beyond a baseline quality/craftsmanship level) which ones are going to be a hit and which ones will flop?
