Blizzard are often under fire with the issues that often plague Diablo III, but more than anything they deserve credit for the experience.
Capcom is updating Games For Windows Live (GFWL) titles on Steam to once again make them available for purchase on the digital storefront.
Zelnick and Slatoff have received a $25m bonus for their management fund after sacking 550 people from Take Two Interactive.
Can't wait to hear how the corporate bootlickers defend this.
550 probably consultants.
GTA6 is in tweak phase, no need for massive number of people for that.
Bury them deep, plant an endangered species of tree ontop- body can never be recovered 🧐
Don’t ask how I know this 😂
I really don't even think CEO's should get bonuses. If I were a CEO and I made millions, I would like to think I wouldn't. Or if I had to legally, I would maybe find a way to disperse among the lower tier employees. Take my bonus and turn it into stocks to disperse out to those employees evenly.
That would be the way to do it. Imagine thinking a CEOs "leadership" is worth that much money while the talent makes the product.
Insanity.
I remember when I started working, my department manager used to gift us stuff each year, one year I got a bottle of Scotch, another it was a small basket of treats... But that was also a lot less money than what we're talking about here.
It would be ideal if the CEO could gift a bonus to everyone under them.
Monetary company bonuses (often referred to as Christmas bonuses) were astoundingly common.
The entire premise of Christmas Vacation was set around Clark's bonus.
CEO's work for shareholders and are shareholders they also rely on share price to receive their multimillion dollar paydays and they will happily fire thousands to protect shares. CEO's are there to extract the most value out of a company and give it to the wealthy few.
That is so god damn fucked up!! Unfortunately...I know damn well I will be still buying their games but shit like this should seriously have some sort of repercussion of some sort. 550 people get their lives totally up-ended and the leadership get a bonus on top of an already high salary. 25M could set those 550 people up with an annual salary each of $45,000. Depending on where you live, that is a very livable salary even...
In a time when Rockstar has forgotten everything else except GTA and RDR, it's about time the developer got back to some of its gems.
Wonder what happened to the leaked medieval game that they were working on ... hope that's still on going and gets released sometime after GTA VI
Seeing as how it's been like 12yrs between releases, i don't think taking even more time is a good decision for the series
So make one GTA every human generation instead of every other console generation?
Come on...
One of my all time favourite games and by far my most played (literally thousands of hours).
Brilliant game!
Why do they deserve credit for casualfying the best action RPG franchise on the planet?
It's a gigantic dumb'd down ps3 game cloaked as a pc game so the fans didn't immediately go crazy.. The graphics were terrible at release, the gameplay is insultingly linear, the story was a complete fkn joke that beyond trying to shock people at every turn, was downright insulting for any Diablo fan to endure.
The amazing pvp system was removed after Blizzcon 2010 which had INSANELY high praise, the stat system was removed as well, "retards added it back in years later! Hah!"
The community was completely dead on arrival with 4 player max games and even more importantly not being able to name your games anymore and post them for people to see... The chat area outside of the game was a joke as well.
..Bringing the butcher and king Leoric back?... Just because, "as a glorified console pos game", D1 had both of them in the early game so they could rake in console nostalgia??? Are you kidding?
The paragon system is a complete joke, magic finding is a complete joke, clans are all but pointless, gear finding is all but pointless..
This could go on for pages. I'm dead serious. As good as Diablo 3 is if you called it, "Demon Wars", instead, it's a horrible sequel.
Blizzard shouldn't be praised for ruining something as amazing as the legacy of D1/D2. They were the most popular games in the world in their own time for a reason. There was no need to flat out make it a worse game. None.
Zero.
