suppose such an opportunity presented itself to you. the chance to work on divinity, contribute meaningfully to it (not just animating the capes of the npcs or something like that), but with zero salary. would you do it? would you quit your job for it? please do take this seriously, i’m not just asking for no reason.
YeahAnd I say that as someone who works in the industry
>>4097258If I didn't need money then yes. Otherwise you'll just starve to death and have no where to live.
>>4097258Yeah, but only so I can get fired for calling them stupid cunts to their faces when characters like Shadowheart get pitched.
I wouldn't work anywhere for free
>>4097685Theres a few jobs I wouldnt mind volunteering for, but you'd have to be a bigger cuck than John to do a creative pursuit for someone else's profit.
>>4097258Larian does not make RPGs. They make action-adventure wokeslop dressed up as an RPG.
no, there would need to be incentives down the line>unpaid internship with a guaranteed contract(never happens) of employment at the end after 1-2 months tops>healthcare covered>free housing and groceries>travel expenses covered by Larian to Belgium(?) and everyday commute >clear defined role not just hanging around as some office mascot
>>4097258No, I'm not gonna live on the street and eat from a garbage can just to make someone else richer.
>>4097258Looking to cut down on budget, Swen?
>>4097258Will I get to shit in their coffee, because I'm going to shit in the coffee
>>4097843>free housingBut we’re talking about you getting paid in exposure
>>4098158I don't feel like exposing everyone to my window shattering morning farts
>>4097258Hell nah. Only way I'd do it would be if it was an university internship deal. If it is a full internship and I had to lose my job and income to do it then that would be stupid, not to mention that AAA devs are treated worse than animals
>>4097258i wouldn't risk financial instability for vidya
>>4097258>larian studios for free?no. unless the Belgium gov went woke and decided to give me free residency and "unemployed" welfare cheques for working for free.
>>4102271brah .even as a shitty webdev intern, i was paid about 500 bucks a mth back in the days.
>>4097258No. Because in a civilised world, that is called slavery. And since we are civilised, everyone says slavery is bad.
>>4097258>work for freeThis does not exist, and is actually called wage theft.
>>4097258Hard pill to swallow:Yes or no doesn't matter. If you live under capitalism you are already working for free. All the money your labor generates is taken by landlords, taxes, utilities, and mostly by CEOs and private investors. Your labor is worth nothing as it is so you might as well work for free doing something you enjoy.
>>4097258No.
>>4097258No, I don't have any interest in making gay sex sims for fujos.
Given that they lazed off and didn't make any expansions for BG3 or show anything about what they're doing, yes absolutely. It's probably very relaxed at that company.
>>4097258if i was a billionaire and all i cared about was contributing to gaming history.
>>4097768Larian hasn't made anything resembling an action game since before OS1.
>>4097258sure, I dont have anything better to do.
>>4116578I work a 9 to 6 during the week, and then help my friend at his gun store every Saturday afternoon for free.
>>4097258>work>4 3At that point I might as well sign up for 4cuck janny duty
I barely work for money, why would I work for free?
>>4130792Imagine making two, or even three times zero dollars
>>4097258That sounds dumb as fuck. Why would I ever accept that deal? I don't know the people there, I don't expect them to remember my good deed, and they have the money to pay me. They aren't the church bake-sale or the charity library that needs some help with their accounting. They already pay people to do this job. Hell doing that might give some middle-manager in search of savings the wrong idea that volunteer labor is how you run a videogame company.Jesus fucking christ that's stupid.
>>4097258>the chance to work on divinityI wouldn't work on this slop even if you paid me.
>>4097258>>4103621what this anon said, or even if they at least offered a residency work visa of some kind i would consider it
>>4097258Fuck no. No reason for it. Why contribute my time for free to a for profit company making a product? It's a brand.
