  • Hell, even a lot of PUBLISHERS would rather keep their games running forever.

    This is such a shit take that publishers want games running forever. The whole reason they get shut down is because they don’t make a profit and if something that’s not earning them money might as well be something that’s going to take gamers away from their new game. So they’ll of course shut it down. It’s in their incentive.

    Your arguments seem very disingenuous.


  • Well, from the perspective of a developer who expects to get fired any second now because funding will arbitrarily dry up. Yeah, the end result will TOTALLY be that you get an extra six months of salary to make the offline client and not that you’ll be held in breach of contract and lose your severance because you couldn’t pound that out in a week.

    This is like saying:

    “You shouldn’t ask for more rights, otherwise I will have to work in the gulags for longer.”
