So no evidence of Naughty Dog paying over time and sharing revenue with its team. As expected.
MULTI Cyberpunk 2077 - Base game + Phantom Liberty sales cross 30 million copies!
- Thread starter Necrokiller
- Start date
Thread is about Cyberpunk, yet some keep posting about The Last of Us and ND.Now watch how quickly this thread about a CDPR game and the mistreatment of CDPR employees will turn into a thread about another completely unrelated company
Meanwhile, still no video or comment from former gaming journalist extraordinaire Alanah Pearce ?
Still waiting for evidence on how Naughty Dog compensated their team for mistreatment of its employees
So they cut all of these features:
But still indulged in crunch and had time to accommodate influencers such as Alanah Pearce:So, in summary, we now know that:
1. You can't wall run anymore
2. Enemy AI wants to wall run, but can't
3. Based on what the PR guy said, you can no longer scale or hang on to walls using your mantis blades
4. You can't customize your vehicles
5. There are no subways, nor do you actually get to ride trains
6. Flathead can no longer be an AI companion, and you can't control it remotely either; its abilities are now a part of V's skill tree
7. Wardrobes can no longer be used to switch outfits; done via menus instead
8. Contrary to what was implied in the 2018 gameplay reveal, V won't get to own or switch between multiple apartments
Sad state of affairs.
Heres what Chandoo forgot to tell you
And we don't even know if Naughty Dog paid overtime to their employees for it. Given how they have a history of withholding salary from senior employees, its highly unlikely that the devs got paid for crunch.
The game is 5, 6 weeks from its expected release and still not gold.
likely hood of getting delayed again has increased once more, unless they really plan to put their employees through the wringer.
TLOU2 went gold on May 4. Just a little over a month before release. Guess even Chandoo agrees they were put through the wringer
Yup. TLOU2, for example, went gold a good 1.5 months before its release. Meanwhile, Cyberpunk 2077 is 4 days over 1.5 months from release, and it has just been sent for certification lmao.
Also, Evan Wells or Druckmann weren't sending emails on May 1st enforcing mandated crunch on employees 5~ weeks before the game's release for bugs/QA for it's june 19th release.
Being gold is just the end-game, its about how close to the release they are still forcing crunch. The game will either be getting exhaustive day 1 patches at this rate, or may just get pushed a few weeks more to accommodate this late development.
Why send emails when people at ND know they will be fired for not crunching? All documented by PG's fav Jason.
Then:
Now:
Do as I say, not as I do

Replied to Naughty Dog crunch article with this:

Playstation - The Last of Us Part II Coming June 19th
I don't think there will actually be a ps5 version due to backward compatibility. Though, they probably will sell a remaster update that may also get rebranded as a physical release for ps5. I would like to belive that Sony is not THAT greedy and would offer PS5 enhancements for PS4 games...

Ye fix hogaya?
Lmao people actually buy stupid whataboutery here. Even if we take that seriously, it only proves that everyone sucks. How does shitting on others make CPDR any better or improve their games? I thought we were all against the crunch culture. Didn't know some dogs are tommys. One can either be a blind fanboy or call out what's wrong without ifs and buts. Can't have it both ways.
THIS !!!
Waisay this is a global phenomenon now, you just need to look around and you'll see this going on in every aspect of your life. Sad.
well said, let's focus on talking about CDPR and things related to CP2077 in the CP2077 topic.
Like I said earlier, the likely hood of the game getting delayed a bit more is now increased again because of this, the game is 5~6 weeks, hasn't gone gold and now we know they are making a huge push for bug testing / QA or whatever they're focusing on at this time.
The person who couldn't stop talking about CDPR when Naughty Dog was under fire is lecturing about staying on topic here...nah they don't get to play the saint here
Jason also reminds everyone of the worst offenders:

Other studios employees:
Anyway, like I said initially, some studio execs like to run away from allegations and don't compensate their employees for extra work. Good to see CDPR isn't one of them
Jason also reminds everyone of the worst offenders:
In World of Video Game Development, Chronic Overtime Is Endemic
Video game makers call it “crunch” -- the process of working nights and weekends to hit a tight deadline. But unlike other professions that might muster employees to work overtime in the final stretches of a project, in game development it can be a permanent, and debilitating, way of life.

Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

SolitarySoldier:
if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.
-
SolitarySoldier:
Phil keeps talking about breaking barriers to gaming, making it accessible on all platforms yada yada, while killing competition and creativity at the same time. the fact that i actually believed him for a second lol

SolitarySoldier:
"These changes are not a reflection of the creativity and skill of the talented individuals at these teams or the risks they took to try new things" ... seems to me that's exactly what it is

XPremiuM:
Microsoft deserves all the hate they can get. Seriously i can't explain how much i want to curse them out. -
XPremiuM:
They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.
-
XPremiuM:
What's the f*** is wrong with them? I mean really? Have they completely lost it? F***ing retards.
-
XPremiuM:
So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

XPremiuM:
Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.Necrokiller said:
