@PurpCat@xianc78 Those guys are mostly parasites who do nothing technical 😂
They get jobs for being mentally disabled and apply by DEI, then will annoy people enough to create new pointless roles inside, like gender equality boards.
Getting into big tech companies isn't much about being a good professional, it is mostly getting the right contacts. Good professionals usually do contractor jobs or work for medium/small companies.
I know some shtty professionals working at Google, Amazon, Redhat, Microsoft and few others. They are just numbers and will keep their jobs no matter if they work or not.
@PurpCat@xianc78 Why looking for game dev? They are mostly beggars unless you work for big companies with shtty work ethics, or you make p0rn games at itch with Patreon.
I have two coworkers who worked in Ubisoft at some AAA games and mobile games, they all hated it.
@waltercool@PurpCat I thought about running a crowd-tipped game studio, but I don't know what to reward people who donate, and I have ZERO interest in making p*rn games.
@waltercool@PurpCat Yeah, but I prefer having an actual website as well, and I have to decide which updates will be posted on the site and which will be posted for members only on Patreon, Liberapay, or whatever.
@xianc78@PurpCat You can try making a game for free, and put some Patreon, Liberapay or something for support.
Just put your game updates there, if someone is interested will start playing and give you some feedback. If your game gets some interest, people may start supporting you.
