The "deprofessionalization of video games" was on full display at PAX East, or, what anyone thing of the Political Officers? (Game Developer)

Recent high-budget computer games - so-called AAA titles - have pretty uniformly crashed and burned. Concord cost Sony $400 million to develop, and the company gave it a mercy killing less than two weeks after it was released.

Meanwhile games from small studios like Palworld and Expedition 33 are making money hand-over-fist.

This article discusses where things might go if small, competent, tightly-focused teams can deliver amazing products while big, bloated, incredibly inefficient corporations fail every time, and asks the question: What about the useless morons?
I want to be clear here - no one I spoke with at PAX East should feel "obligated" to give anyone a job. They're small teams making the most of limited resources, and it's the acceleration in game development technology that's made it possible. What feels wrong is how few people seem to benefit from this status quo.
Get good.

14 Bob Geldof. The guy behind the Live Aid monstrosity. It's amusing, in a gallows humor way, to find out what happened to all that Aid. Hint, it never got to the starving Africans that needed it. He was told the situation down there by US and UK officials, but he didn't heed any of it. Being a smug idiot does have some drawbacks. The story is out there on the interwebs. Search it out and revel in the horrible absurdity of it all. I think Mark Steyn wrote an article about it.

Regarding Mexico. Decades ago, there was a story that bus drivers in Mexico City were instructed to back their bus over any pedestrian they hit with their bus, to ensure they were dead. A one-time death payment was less money than long-term disability payments to an injured pedestrian.

Maybe they hoped that rolling the ancient pensioner to the bank would kill her. By maybe, I mean definitely.

Posted by: I am the Shadout Mapes, the Housekeeper at May 27, 2025 06:30 AM (PiwSw)

60 @42/FenelonSpoke:

FenSpouse is correct, it was the previous driver's responsibility to TRY to get the route sheets corrected. However, this involves:

1. Informing Dispatch (in writing) of the problem and the desired correction, including justification for same.
2. Dispatch personnel decide if that change is necessary. If so then:
3. Dispatch sends on the request to the affected school board who also make the same decision.

If at (2) or (3) they don't feel your change is necessary enough to put the effort in to change the route, you just don't get notified that you need to pick up updated route sheets. Nothing happens.

So, as the driver, you mentally update the route yourself, and make changes, that any other driver that runs your route will never know about.

Just giving the previous driver some leeway here because the process is highly imperfect, and our drivers tend to be good people who try to do the right thing. Sometimes they get lucky, everything aligns right, and the forces of order win the day.

There's a lot of chaos out there though, and it laughs at us at every opportunity.

The larger a company gets, the more mandatory it seems that they must operate under crushing debt. "Leverage" is addicting to an MBA. There must be no cash on hand. You must take every single offer of "funding" from any source, regardless of any strings attached. I have to hire three times as many designers who have never designed anything? Gimme the money. I have to bin the entire script and make a whole new protagonist? Gimme. It's all goofy. And it's been that way for everybody else (film studios, tv execs, dead tree publishing, comics, etc etc) for even longer.
