Still waiting for evidence on how Naughty Dog compensated their team for mistreatment of its employees 🤷‍♂️

So they cut all of these features:
So, in summary, we now know that:

1. You can't wall run anymore



2. Enemy AI wants to wall run, but can't



3. Based on what the PR guy said, you can no longer scale or hang on to walls using your mantis blades



4. You can't customize your vehicles



5. There are no subways, nor do you actually get to ride trains



6. Flathead can no longer be an AI companion, and you can't control it remotely either; its abilities are now a part of V's skill tree



7. Wardrobes can no longer be used to switch outfits; done via menus instead



8. Contrary to what was implied in the 2018 gameplay reveal, V won't get to own or switch between multiple apartments

But still indulged in crunch and had time to accommodate influencers such as Alanah Pearce:



Sad state of affairs.

Exactly. What is the big deal? Just delay the game till Christmas or something. That won't even be a surprise anymore since the game has been delayed many times for similar reasons. Many people even expected another delay.
Heres what Chandoo forgot to tell you :ROFLMAO:


And we don't even know if Naughty Dog paid overtime to their employees for it. Given how they have a history of withholding salary from senior employees, its highly unlikely that the devs got paid for crunch.

TLOU2 went gold on May 4. Just a little over a month before release. Guess even Chandoo agrees they were put through the wringer :ROFLMAO:

Yup. TLOU2, for example, went gold a good 1.5 months before its release. Meanwhile, Cyberpunk 2077 is 4 days over 1.5 months from release, and it has just been sent for certification lmao.
Also, Evan Wells or Druckmann weren't sending emails on May 1st enforcing mandated crunch on employees 5~ weeks before the game's release for bugs/QA for it's june 19th release.

Being gold is just the end-game, its about how close to the release they are still forcing crunch. The game will either be getting exhaustive day 1 patches at this rate, or may just get pushed a few weeks more to accommodate this late development.

Why send emails when people at ND know they will be fired for not crunching? All documented by PG's fav Jason. :ROFLMAO:

Then:

Thread is about Last of Us, keeps posting Cyberpunk articles.

Now:

Please do share where Naughty Dog committed to a OT payment and bonus.
Yep. This is what makes Naughty Dog's culture the shittiest around. They don't even acknowledge the torture crunch culture in their comapny.
So no evidence of Naughty Dog paying over time and sharing revenue with its team. As expected.

Replied to Naughty Dog crunch article with this:


Chandoo said:
CD's reason to delay game "To get out of FF7's way and incur more publicly acknowledged crunch on team".
Chandoo said:
Work at CDPR, get complementary hemorrhoids as your signing on bonus :laugh1:
Chandoo said:
Work at CDPR. Thrive while making homophobic and transphobic content, but still get bullied and harassed and hemorrhoids

CDPR: "More crunch y'all" :laugh1:
Chandoo said:
Changing topics just like CDPR changes release dates and their statements on forced employee crunch :laugh1:
Now wants to stick to topic.

Lmao people actually buy stupid whataboutery here. Even if we take that seriously, it only proves that everyone sucks. How does shitting on others make CPDR any better or improve their games? I thought we were all against the crunch culture. Didn't know some dogs are tommys. One can either be a blind fanboy or call out what's wrong without ifs and buts. Can't have it both ways.

well said, let's focus on talking about CDPR and things related to CP2077 in the CP2077 topic. (y)

Like I said earlier, the likely hood of the game getting delayed a bit more is now increased again because of this, the game is 5~6 weeks, hasn't gone gold and now we know they are making a huge push for bug testing / QA or whatever they're focusing on at this time.

The person who couldn't stop talking about CDPR when Naughty Dog was under fire is lecturing about staying on topic here...nah they don't get to play the saint here :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

Jason also reminds everyone of the worst offenders:
It’s a situation that has existed in the gaming industry for decades. Many other game developers have also cultivated reputations for running flat out. The list includes Take-Two Interactive Software Inc.’s Rockstar Games, the maker of Grand Theft Auto; Sony Corp.’s Naughty Dog, developer of The Last of Us; and Square Enix Holdings Co.’s Crystal Dynamics, the company behind the recent Marvel’s Avengers video game.
Badowski did reiterate CD Projekt Red’s policy of paying for extra hours and sharing 10% of the company’s annual profit among the studio’s employees. Many other studios don’t pay for overtime.

Other studios employees:



Anyway, like I said initially, some studio execs like to run away from allegations and don't compensate their employees for extra work. Good to see CDPR isn't one of them (y)

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.
