Reading one of the articles and I just want to point this out to show how these idiots think:
“Here I thought being indie meant I was on-the-clock 24/7, but apparently AAA means just that but also being forced to take whatever shit people fling at you because ‘standards of communicating with our community’ and ‘we make the game for you (so feel free to give our devs shit),’” wrote Vlambeer’s Rami Ismail on Twitter."
Like I mentioned before, these people have no concept of actual work. They're defending getting into shitstorms with the people who pay them money and make sure the company exists, while listing themselves as employees, and they think it is an egregious slap in the face to be expected to not yell at them on social media. Like imagine this happening in any other field, you work for a software company and you're getting into public and recorded slapfights with the client base. "Oh HERE I WAS thinking we were enlightened enough to be able to represent the company and get into fights with clients. MY BAD, Mein Fuhrer.
