*looks at miserable state of AAA industry*

...and that's surprising how...?

Crunch, burnout, constantly doing the exact same game and reusing the exact same formula(hello activision cod, EA fifa and bf, ubisoft literally everything) stress.

Dev studios we used to love are gone, if they still are around, they are just void husks of what they once were.

You want a game made with heart and for players? Go indie.

Maybe it's 'cause the Axis players aren't a bunch of forum crybabies, and they keep their cool and fight the uphill battle, unlike some of their "allied" counterparts.

Good Stuff here

There are a few "good" reasons people with 10-20 years experience may leave also. They have done enough and are ready to move to the next level/job. And they dont see room to grow, like the person that has the job they want is not leaving anytime soon. Or they know enough now to start out on their own.

Yep, almost like once gaming became so monetized they are one of the biggest money makers out there. Treated like a hollow business. They're not run by passionate people looking to make great games anymore. They're ran by people looking to increase the bottom line, to increase stocks and to monetized the shit out of everyone.

DLC
Season Passes
Premium pre-paid beta access

All for broken games. And anyone who's out there throwing money at these idiots deserves it. We have to vote with our wallets on these issues.

Haha thanks for that YouTube video, it's funny to see how different the game looked in the beta version, and that mortars had a different sound.

And Brummbar was busted OP haha
