>be employee at good gaming company>work for 5 years designing different sized cups and dirt particles>game is a megahit>shareholders and owners split the profits amongst themselves>only thing you get is more work on the sequelGuys.. why should game devs put any 'soul' into their work if they aren't gonna reap any benefits? Makes sense to do the bare minimum and chill in a nice expensive office.

>>683703720>5+ years in any it-companyWhat's the problem. 2-3 years and if you don't get promoted, you look for another job. It's the rule of thumb.
>>683703720>Why don't I own the company I work at?I don't know, why don't you?
>>683704213Why doesn't a group of people start a new company where everyone votes on how all revenue is allocated or whatever?
A game definitionally can't have "soul" or whatever you wanna call it, when it is a corporate product made by hundreds or thousands of employees. That doesn't mean it can't be good, but it is objectively impossible for a game to have a unified, cohesive vision and creative intent behind it when 80% of the content is outsourced to shit shops in India and all of your actual studio is filled with first-years and whatever industry detritus you scooped up to fill the ranks so you can get a product out in time. Creative things are made by creators, with a specific intention and goal, and the problems and hurdles that happen along the way. Creative things are not made by teams of 3000 people sitting in cubicles.

>>683703720Your benefit is that you do jack shit all day long and still get paid. Games aren't even releasing in beta states but actual alpha states after 9 years of work, your benefit is that you got to lounge around and eat at the company snack bar for 9 years.
