Are there other hobbyists that literally go out of their way to shoot themselves in the foot every chance they get? It's legit baffling.

Forgetting piracy and multiplayer was the greatest disaster for gamerkind
Somehow ppl are defending the new OW2 news including the battle pass saying you can still earn skins for free and like.... I had 50 hours in OW1 (I found it pretty boring and basically a Disney meme game) and I had LEGITIMATELY 30+ legendary skins from loot boxes because they handed them out like candy.
Doesn't help that the devteam are out on twitter doing "wah wah wah everything in this industry is pain the only thing that matters is what you ship" sympathy tours.
Isn't that every industry? If I pay for a chair and you send me a broken TV from the landfill I don't really care what series of events led to you doing that lol
Game devs and publishers specifically think it's okay to sell you something they know doesn't work ahead of time, pretend like they didn't know, and then when you receive the product and find out it doesn't work, tsk tsk at you for criticizing them because delivering a broken product is hard and you should have known better than to expect they would give you a working product
Look you can sit on the TV it's basically what you were asking for. I don't get why people are so mad
It's software. Software is never finished. Idk why people think shipping broken games is a new thing. It's been that way for the last twenty years at least, and it was probably like that all the way back to Space War, I just don't remember the 90s very well.

Rockstar is notorious for crunch, like one of the most notorious studios.

Creative professions have more choices after a few years of experience, because in games a lot of people burn out and go to different industries. So there is a severe lack of senior talent
It's hard to get a job as a new graduate, it took me many months and I was lucky that the one offer I got worked out well.
I have a hunch rockstar is making so much off shark card micro transactions for GTA V that they can actually afford to improve working conditions. Slowing down development just means more time to sell shark cards.
The slow enclosure of the commons as platforms like steam and games as a service made it effectively impossible to mod and host your own servers and generally have any kind of ownership over the games has sucked hard.
