The part about withholding someone's final paycheck to hide production practices is a pretty shitty thing to do, regardless of who does it. I can't support such practices, nor do I support this slavery-oriented crunch culture in the game industry.
That said, it does seem like Cooper is on some sort of vendetta against Naughty Dog.
That's not to say his original allegations are wrong. Just that he may be misrepresenting certain things.

Doesn't seem that way at all. It's Jason's job to report this stuff. On the other hand, it's not Johnathan Cooper's job to humiliate his ex-peers by stealing their private info, twist it to suit his purpose and then share it publicly.
naazuk surat e haal hai dost.
Chandoo ki radio silence hi sab kuch bata rahi hai :laugh1:
Unfair and oppressive work practices are condemnable without ifs and buts. As long as what is being said here also goes for Rockstar, CDPR, and others, I've no problem blaming ND and condemning the culture of crunch in general.
Chandoo appreciates the unsung heroes as per Druckmann who will end up making TLoU 2 one of the best games of the year
But Naughty Dog apologists are just throwing blanket statements regarding the industry and one of them is flat out ignoring the real issue.

Ironic, coming from the person who also glossed over the crunch stories at Rockstar :lol:

It comes from Cog Connected and internal ND employees though. Naughty Dog failed to respond or make a change to their shitty crunch culture.
Then it came from Jason and still Naughty Dog didn't respond.
Now it comes from Jason again and current and ex employees. Naughty Dog continues to fail to improve their shitty culture or face the music.
Crunch culture is so horrible that the articles don't stop.
Keep on keepin on though :wub:

finding all those tweets must have taken a while, ah well ... at least ND crunch culture isn't that bad they have to apologize directly
you know your crunch culture is bad when you have to a/ promise you will reduce it but b/ fail to do so make preemptive statements about it a year later

And now for the bad news

Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

SolitarySoldier:
if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

SolitarySoldier:
Phil keeps talking about breaking barriers to gaming, making it accessible on all platforms yada yada, while killing competition and creativity at the same time. the fact that i actually believed him for a second lol

"These changes are not a reflection of the creativity and skill of the talented individuals at these teams or the risks they took to try new things" ... seems to me that's exactly what it is

Microsoft deserves all the hate they can get. Seriously i can't explain how much i want to curse them out. -
XPremiuM:
They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.
-
XPremiuM:
What's the f*** is wrong with them? I mean really? Have they completely lost it? F***ing retards.
-
XPremiuM:
So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.Necrokiller said:
