Not new but now it's official

Somebody should tell her that if she's gonna be the PR manager of a company (or what is she?), she shouldn't blanket block hundreds of thousands of random people. Idk, just float her this idea.

According to her twitter she is a writer, eh narrative designer of course.

 

[Bester]

I don't understand why twitter's blocks are bi-directional. I can still see those tweets if I unlog. I just can't give enough of a shit to do that. What a weird philosophy for a website.

 

[Thonius]

Soooo how badly suck it's going to be? From makers of counter strike Go eh...

I'll roleplay as a conquistador while she roleplays as my helpless native spoil of war

The most important information comes from the PR client (organization/person). Who cares what the PR person says on his or her personal Twitter/blog?

pro-tip:
if you put "employed by so-and-so" on your social media profile, even if you follow it with some nonsense like "MY VIEWS ARE MY OWN!", your views will still be attached to that corporation

solution:
stop posting shit attached to your name

better solution:
stop using social media

But then they wouldn't be able to raise their personal prestige on the back of the franchise or company they managed to get a minimum wage job at.

PLS BE GOOD

You misspelled "D&D Dark Souls clone".

Dark Souls clones are supposed to be challenging, and that won't fly with the critical role audience. Why so ableist?

Women can't gamedev. We've known this since Brenda and Killcreek days.

You don’t hire this person to NOT block hundreds of thousands of people. People hire witches for a specific purpose, and it ain’t love and roses.

 

[Desiderius]

There are women who can, but they’re not the kind who get hired. Single sex organizations evolved over the centuries to effectively identify and promote talent.

You don’t fuck up the sex piece without fucking up the effectiveness.

It cant be , AAA action games need AAA team , considerable work, knowledge, something the like of ubisoft or arkane studio can provide, that's why they are so valued on the stock market . Now imagine a D&D game done by arkane studio ,playing a stealthy assassin in the sword coast that could be great.
Here? a tag of new comers just hired, a beautiful PR person is not enough for a great game. I am more confident when i see a team of old bearded men onboard when it comes to rpg.
It's hard to make a great action RPG, it can only be shovelware.

 

[luj1]

What AAA basically means,

- shit ton of useless VO
- shit ton of useless cosmetic options
- less passion
- more deadlines
- more idiots on team
- romances
- SJW drama
- focus on technology/visuals over gameplay
- overpriced orchestral scores
- overpriced voice actors
- less coherency and consistency
- ...

There are many reasons why small teams working in poor conditions produce cult classics, while AAA teams with millions of dollars behind them produce comical failures.

So kindly piss off with "AAA".

PR jobs do not pay minimum wage

Was talking about the practice in general. But an example of the more common sighting is the SJWs hired into comics in the last few years.

How are DND rules going to translate to a third person AAA (presumably action) RPG? Do they even know what DND is?

People from other studios who had projects cancelled are looking for new jobs/positions. I don't know what's up with this one, though.

 

[Delterius]

maybe these people got lost somewhere along the hidden path

Hidden Path lays off 44​

Developer shelves RPG it had been working on after funding falls through

Hidden Path Entertainment founder and creative director Michael Austin confirmed on LinkedIn yesterday that the studio has laid off 44 employees, as spotted by Game Developer.

The studio's website says it has a team of "over 65" developers.

"For over six months, our team at Hidden Path Entertainment has been in numerous active discussions to find replacement funding for an exciting RPG project," Austin said.

"In the face of a challenging environment, we now have no choice but to pause development on that project and reduce the company size until we have an opportunity to return to it."

That RPG project appears to have been a Dungeons & Dragons game that Hidden Path had been working on with Wizards of the Coast.

The game was reportedly cancelled by Wizards of the Coast in January last year, but Hidden Path insisted at the time the game was still in the works.

It remains the featured title on the Games section of Hidden Path's website.
