  • the problem is CEO after you bought your $100 game for your $700 console. “We could boost profits so I can get my bonus this quarter by enabling microtransactions anyway and shut down the severs on the game you bought after a year. Because not enough people are buying the game anymore and we don’t offer dedicated servers like we did for 20 years with no issues but now it’s too hard. We will keep the severs going but you need to buy a subscription.”

    If you feed the beast more it just craves more to be full. I would have no problem paying the same prices for games in the 90s adjusted inflation. If wages had kept up with productively. Hell they can even keep the cost reduction going from carts to CDs or downloads.

    Also the Steam Deck is $349 right now.




  • I know this is not everyone and there’re some unicorns out there but after working with hiring managers for decades i can’t help but see cheap programmers when I see Devops. It’s ether Ops people that think they are programmers or programmers that are not good enough to get hired as Software Engineers outright at higher pay. It’s like when one person is both they can do both but not great at ether one. Devops works best when it’s a team of both dev and Ops working together. IMO
