International Game Developers Association executive director Jen MacLean has advised game companies to lay out clear guidelines for employee behaviour on social media, in light of the firing of two ArenaNet writers over an altercation on Twitter.
Embracer CEO demonstrates a masterclass in mental gymnastics in latest interview.
"I'm sure I deserve a lot of criticism, but I don't think my team or companies deserve all the criticism. I could take a lot of that blame myself. But ultimately I need to believe in the mission," he said.
OK give us Kingdoms of Amalur 2 with AAA budget and we will accept your excuse
CGM Writes: While we were over at PAX East, we were able to sit down with Goichi Suda (Suda51) and talk about the upcoming remaster of Shadows of the Damned
We explore the Sega classics that are ripe for revival! From Panzer Dragoon Saga to Virtua Fighter, discover why these legendary games deserve a comeback on next-gen consoles. Dive into a nostalgic journey and see which Sega titles are set to captivate a new generation of gamers in 2024.
Turned based Phantasy Star and Shinning Force remain at the top of my list of Sega IPs that need to return. At the very least I'd take a Shining Force collection that has 1,2,3, CD and the Game Gear entries.
I was hesitant to put these two on. I've personally played more PSO than the RPG version. And shame on me, I don't remember much about Shining Force to talk about it properly.
That said, so many Sega licences deserve their place in this list.
A new Phantasy Star in the numbered series would be amazing. Shining Force too. But I’d settle on some collections as that’s probably the best we will get
I don't trust Sega to do a proper comeback. The games will be just remastered and/or monetized to death.
And so the cancer spreads...
Producers call their fans/consumers nasty names? OK
Fans/consumers question producers and/or motives? Not OK
This is pretty basic. Even like ten years ago starting my first job outside of college, I remember learning that companies expect their employees to be aware that they consider you to be a representative of the company even when you aren't at work. Employers don't want their company or brand to be associated with something distasteful that on of its employees do.
Regarding the ArenaNet situation - if you don't want people to express their opinion about what you've said/shared (even if it was/wasn't polite), don't use public forums.
Don't want people to argue/disagree with you?
- Prefix your opinion with «Hey, don't disagree with me» or «i don't care about your opinion» or «i'm venting»;
- Don't attack people who're disagreeing with you, especially if they're your customers;
- Don't use buzz words as defense tactic (gender/sexist/racist/etc);
- Don't use public forums, such as Twitter, share them among your friends/coworkers. Public forums called «public» for a reason.
