>Fromsoft gives all their employees a raise >Pearl Abyss gives their employees $3400>Shift Up gives their employees $3400, PS5 pros, Nintendo switches, and more Why don't western devs reward their employees when they make a successful game?
>>737854498So denuvo removal then?
>>737854752When your cow gives you milk, you reward it by not eating steak that night.
>>7378544983400 is an insultingly small bonus btw
>>737856627$3,400 USD is ₩5,015,000 KRW, it's about 2 month's rent in a nice Seoul apartment, you are delusional if you think this isn't a great bonus, it's like getting $8,000 here
>>737856951Even for a yearly merit bonus 3k is a slap in the face. A shipping bonus should be 20k minimum
>>737854752Because western devs aren't working 80 hour weeks
>>737857367>Because western devs aren't working 80 hour weeksofficially anyway. The reports about crunch time and so on seem to imply they work the same hours.
>>737857276You're delusional, $20,000 is the highest range for team leads, $5000 is typical for the average dev
i guess its a nice bonus but are the employees on salary? that means they wont get paid for the extra overtime they've obviously been working.
>>737857506holy shit you people are leeches
>>737857417I suspect they dont do jack shit so 'crunch' hours just sitting around browsing social media and gossiping shouldn't count.
>>737854498Maybe they will make a good game now.
>>737857493I made 20k bonuses yearly at my last job. 3k is very low.
>>737854498 $3400 for 5 years of development is like if your yearly salary was $700 higher and morons on the internet act like this is the greatest thing that ever happened in the industry. Meanwhile people in korean studios work for 50% less than in America while working twice as many hours.
>>737854752When was the last time western devs made a good game?
>>737854498They put out 4 big patches in like 5 weeks I'm sure the real bonus was finally being able to go home.
>>737857962Halo 1
>>737857654what do you mean? salaried workers dont get extra for overtime, whats wrong in pointing that out. my job doesn't make me work much overtime thankfully but a reasonable amount of overtime ill do it because i like my job, but i cant imagine working for like a game studio and crunch being forced onto you for months straight and to only see 3k at the end of it
>>737854498This is bigoted and genocide against minorities pls delet
>>737857367Reddit cope and western game devs are notorious for crunch time
the problem is that what if the game flopped? would they still get a bonus for all the crunch and overtime? i don't think so, even if the previous game made over 2 billion dollars, 3k is chump change
>>737854752It's literally illegal for companies to give bonuses to workers based off profits in USA, Ford vs Dodge
>>737854498Oy vey! Won't someone PLEASE think of the shareholders!!!
>>737854752>Why don't western devs reward their employees when they make a successful game?
>>737854498These are anti investor practices. You're supposed to use every extra dollar to increase your stock value, not pay employees...
>>737854752By the time the game is deemed successful, they already fired all of their contractors for the between projects downscaling phase.You don't really have a real team when your games cost 500 million to make, you have the leads and thousands of random niggas you got for this one.
I'm gonna play some crimson desert
>>737859286the absolute fucking seethe lmao
>>737858745Better let all those American companies that do end of year bonuses based off profit sharing they are breaking the law then.
>>737856951>$3,400 USD is ₩5,015,000 KRWHoly Moly looks like monopoly money lol
>>737860418The fuck are you talking about, retard? He's completely correct. Westoid devs hire a bunch of temps and contractors and fire every single person they can as soon as a game ships. Or did you read wrong and think he was making fun of the slants? I bet you did, dumb fuck.
>>737861054THE ABSOLUTE SEETHE LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>737854752Shareholder Primacy
>>737860798profit-share is different to a product performance bonus
>>737860941They don't count in decimals basically. It'd be like counting a dollar as 100 dollars because you don't fractionalize it into cents.
>>737854752Westerners are all outsourced temporary workers. Sipping Starbucks and passing down their jobs to some Bangladeshi asset office.
>>737860418NTA but that's literally how it is senpaiNo more teams, just higher ups and brands
