Last week GI.biz reported on a class-action lawsuit filed against Blizzard Entertainment, which alleges that the developer failed to secure players' information and it accuses Blizzard of fraud and unjust enrichment for requiring players to set up a Battle.net account. GamesIndustry International has now heard from Blizzard on the matter, and the company insists that the suit is "without merit and filled with patently false information." Blizzard said it intends to "vigorously defend ourselves through the appropriate legal channels."
Former Blizzard president Mike Ybarra recently suggested an interesting concept that has sparked a debate among gamers - the idea of being able to tip developers after completing a game.
If I had a 100% way to be sure that this money would go to a fund or a reserve dedicated only to the guys who develop the games, be them designers, artists, programmers and so on, I could think about it.
But we all know that this 'tip' would only end up in a publisher's CEO pocket to buy a new yacht, so, no, I ain't tipping anyone anytime soon on this industry
So they eventually don't pay their workers and depend on our tips to pay them like the case with waiters!
Is this a joke? How about the big wigs giving up some of their pay for their hard working developers.
good god. The devs are not baristas dude. Total 1% ideals. Fing Chadosaurus.
