Why are they like this?
They can't make good games and become industry leaders so why not just have fun with your shitshow and torture the stupid fricks that refuse to uninstall your garbage game and move on with their lives?
>muh harassment
Frick off moron you cant harass someone over the internet
Shitty corpos don't like criticism.
hero shooters are just so fricking boring. I don't know how anybody can play them.
Paladins is shit
but it has redeeming qualities
Salt is made for passionate prone boning and kissing
you (and all furries) are made for buckshot and skinning.
i only think about furries when i encounter them. your parents think about you all the time and will forever be disappointed in you.
i'm so glad I wasn't molested as a kid like you.
>the poo got dragged on asphalt face first for that
>this street shiter piece of shit really tough he had any kind of clout to threat the fanbase
kek, you love to see it.
proof? I refuse to believe some twat on twitter actually suffered consequences for shitting on the fanbase until I see it happen.
every employee so far has had Twitter battles with random users. they are so easy to rile up. If recent memory serves, three employees left for "mental health reasons" on short notice after harassing players.
I'm having flashbacks to that one b***h working on Guild Wars that got fired for picking a fight with a guy on Twitter and making the company look bad.
And that one poor frick who got fired for simping for her the entire time and probably had a very awkward conversation with his wife and children when he got home that day.
Never playing anything those Black folk make after they fricked tribes up so bad. If they had a shred of competency in the entire fricking company I'd still be playing it today
What is the point of Paladins now that Overwatch 2 is F2P?
Still makes me mad.
Because as shitty as Paladins is, the champ customization is still leagues better than OW. Paladins may be a joke of a game to many but OW2 is an actual embarrassment seeing how far it's fallen.
>why are you eating that pile of shit?
>>WELL ITS WAY BETTER THAN THAT OTHER PILE OF SHIT
>food analogy
>he thinks shit is food
yikes
Do you guys not?
>thinks shit is food
>Ganker suddenly
All they had to do was nothing at all.
How are they still alive? At the peak of the hero-shooter hype they had like 11k players worldwide.
Unironically furry and coomer skins
65,000 actually. But that's besides the point. They're still shit.
>devs don't listen to players
>use games as resume padders
>players get mad
>someone sends a truthful but mean tweet
>devs cry harassment
>gather sympathy points
>live another day and eventually jump ship to another game in which they help ruin
Many such cases.
>hi-rez
>being a rational studio
Had a buddy who worked with them talk about the bullshit they put employees through, it’s genuinely both hilarious and sad how the people higher up are just as bad as people say
>buddy who worked with them talk about the bullshit they put employees through
Did he ever give details?
>lying and implying
>conveniently leave out any details
cool story bro
Weird larp
You can contribute to conversation without lying.
>i put myself on the internet in front of billions of people for my own financial gain but demand they only say nice things
Good morning sers!
i dont even know what game this is
All you need to know is
>hirez
Hi-rez has always been a shitty company just chasing whatever is popular that month, this shouldn't surprise anyone.
thank frick i never played this censored pile of shit
hope the devs get endless harassment for being scum
they deserve it
SMITE is dogshit
Paladins used to be the better Overwatch but they stopped developing the fricking game besides shitting out half baked heroes
This company killed Tribes and hope they all fricking die of dysentery
>Tribes won GOTY from a few game sites
>Yeah lets kill it to chase fads for the next few decades
Hi rez deserves nothing but death, im sure if they stuck with Tribes, we would have Ascend 2 now
SMITE is ass, I don't even know why I played it in the first place.
Oh hey it's Syberbolt shilling his own video again. Did both of your PSO2 rant videos ever fricking get anything done with Sega???
It's funny to think Paladins to a certain group was "Overwatch but good".
Wonder where they are now.
why harass devs that are just wagecucking through the day? the director and the execs are the ones making decisions. yall are the same people who sperg out on retail workers because you don't like something the franchise owner decided to frick you with
because devs are usually leftist cuck homosexuals like the OP and deserve all the harassment they receive
>the devs are whatever strawman I want them to be so I can justify sperging out at them
pathetic
this is true, they need to be harassed. if not harassment assault would love to heem that pajeet
The very first game hi-rez made was a huge scam. Why do people still play anything made by this awful studio?
What was their first game? Wasnt it a spy orientated MMO?
Kinda. Global Agenda. It was more like TF2 than an MMO because there was no PvE at launch and it was all about queuing for matches with a free for all arena you could spend downtime in or wait for match in. Classes were Recon (kinda like a spy/sniper hybrid), Engineer (can even swap out blueprints to build different shit), Medic (healing and poison), and a Heavy. Especially in the early days of beta before they had generated out MMO-like gear progression so everyone was on equal footing with the default gear. That was the best time for Global Agenda. PVE was a mistake. Gear progression was a mistake. Giving it the MMO characteristics is what killed its appeal as a team shooter.
hirez is really good at coming up with good ideas then fumbling them royally. their games are like a pizza that's really good fresh out of the oven but quickly turns into disgusting slop as the grease soaks into the crust, the cheese coagulates, and the sauce bitters at room temperature. the only reason hirez still exists is because they capture players with the idea of a good game then a small percentage refuse to admit its a bad game and continue playing it for years
So true, I actually thought their Battle Royale was really good at first, you can pick one of the paladin characters. It was fun, different playstyles and ect.
Then they just decided to copy Fortnite and frick everything up with a generic player.
realm royale was pretty sick and every single update made it worse and worse. it was crazy how they couldn't even accidentally get something right once in a while. but thats the perfect hirez experience. the directors don't play the games they direct and they don't understand the implications of the decisions they make
I dont realize how they didnt know they were killing the game with each update. The fanbase was pretty vocal of how shitty the game was getting
>713 views
>"hmm... this requires a twitter thread"
he clearly said that last line as a joke OP, grow up
Criticizing corporations is literal antisemitism, anon.
SER!!!NOOOO!! DO NOT CAPTURE THE PAYLOAD!!! SER!!! YOU BLOODY BASTERD b***h!!!
>hey butthole do your job, you already took my money
>WHAT HOW DARE YOU HARASS ME PERSONALLY OH MY GOD YOU NEED 9000 BOOSTERS AND A BLACK CUM INJECTION STAT
All woke devs are like this. And they're supported by their sycophant neet freaks who give them a lifetime of loyalty for a mod position.
>>WHAT HOW DARE YOU HARASS ME PERSONALLY
except the tweet is specifically about harassing the devs, who have no control over the product. do you get mad at a field tech for your ISP charging you too much? the wagecucks are just wagecucking, sperging out on them is moronic
except the devs do have control over the product so your point is moot.
>I have no idea how software/game development works
ftfy
game dev is a terrible profession. You are a loser. Kys
I dunno if you know this but you're posting in a gaming channel, where all the content discussed is produced by game devs.
Do you even like video games?
Why even pay them then? sounds like a wasted job and payroll
You dumb c**ts always make the same disingenuous false equivalences with huge mental gymnastics and loose analogies to obfuscate the issue to the point your moronic ideals can sneak into acceptance.
That will not happen here. I am correct, you are incorrect. Frick off till you become correct.
when mcdonalds raises the price of your big mac, do you shriek at the wagie behind the counter as if its their fault?
Even if they have zero control over their product, they still have full control over what they put on Twitter under their personal accounts.
Even if they're making you mad, attacking the people who literally fund your job is not going to go over well and will likely get you called into HR for a conversation.
In the realm of multiplayer class shooters, how in the frick does Valve keep winning despite doing nothing or making the game worse?
Because modern multiplayer shooters have gone so deep into drinking the 'competitive' kool aid that they end up making 8 million micro changes for the sake of balance that progressively make the game more and more dogshit until it's unrecognizable. Overwatch is the perfect example of this. It was incredibly fun on launch but instead of making new characters and modes fun and interesting they make them to fill a role in the meta, and the meta is always to play the game in the most boring fricking was possible.
>working as intended
videogames are not about fun anymore. it's about turning them into manipulative skinner boxes trapping players into a gameplay and gamepay loop. everything is anti-player balancing, MTX, EOMM, ranked all garbage to keep you manipulated
I don't mind comp being a thing, but I like it better when it naturally comes out of the fanbase and when the balance of comp actually does affect regular gameplay.
There are so many games that the comp scene might as well be its' own thing because what they do there is vastly different to the average jackoff doing in regular games. If the problems of comp did bleed over into casual, that'd be when balancing would be needed, otherwise just give comp match settings to fit their needs leaving the regular game alone.
The Hi-Rez game lifecycle
>new game idea
>form a dev team
>game is REALLY GOOD
>devs leave because hi-rez is dead end job and mostly hires interns/juniors
>new devs get put onto the team to fill slots
>"hey you know what the game should have?"
>new devs change shit even though they don't play the game
>rinse and repeat
There. With the exception of smite, this has been all of their games.
I bought the all champions pack that gives me all champions
Classic Hi-Rez move
Never forget what they did to Tribes
shazbot... tribes was so far ahead of its time. it's crazy how badly it got fumbled
>tribes
mfw i bought Global Agenda
You needed a video reveal to learn that Hi-Rez was run by short sighted greedy morons?
How about they stop doing things that merit harassment? Is that too much to ask?
Yes
Being fricking moronic is part of their studio identity
again, the DEVS aren't make decisions. the DEVS aren't the ones deserving harassment. the DIRECTORS and EXECUTIVES control the product
again, the NAZIS aren't make decisions. The NAZIS aren't the ones deserving harassment. hitler controls the army
you think you're making a point but you're unironically describing how soldiers are treated. nazi soldiers aren't thrown in court for war crimes, the bureaucrats and generals are
>Oh the developers had no choice in the matter at all hurr durr
Frick off. Before any part of the code is updated/written, there is back and forth between team leaders and the grunts to make sure that things work smoothly. Game developers are spineless cucks if they don't engage with their client (In this case the studio that hired them) to achieve the best result.
t. Software engineer.
>be hirez dev
>director wants X
>"I don't think X is a good idea"
>director says X is important for product direction
>"but X will make players unhappy
>director says execs expect X in the next update
>"do the execs know X won't be good?"
>director says its their job to worry about X and your job to write code
maybe at a good studio, this stuff happens infrequently. at hirez, it happens every day. what has the dev done to deserve harassment here?
I guess I jumped on a bit too early, my actual problem with the situation is the response isn't
>Hey you guys shouldn't harass these people, I should be getting the blowback for being a fricking idiot
and is instead
>Don't hurt le heckin develeporinos, I can take away your game modes you know 😉
And then by proxy it makes people less sympathetic to developers because of kneejerk reactions.
its a kneejerk reaction to devs receiving harassment over things they don't control. devs already have to fight their superiors just to make a playable game, it's not fair for their community to villainize them as well.
this doesn't happen with hirez though.
you're insane. every ex-dev and every glassdoor post says exactly the same thing: the higher ups make bad decisions in favor of money grabbing over the longterm health of the product. you're absolutely disconnected from reality if you think the heart of the issues at hirez isn't the directors/execs
you will never be a game developer
if the devs weren't the ones making the decisions they wouldn't be harassing players over the higher ups' choices. get fricked moron. Your company is terrible and you should have a nice day as soon as possible to rid the world of your horrible takes.
if you watch that 2 and a half hour video about the history of paladins you'll hear from an ex-dev that Hi-Rez funds the game studios that work on their games. The devs are the ones who control the content.
Yes but the devs are the easiest attack vector because they are fricking morons and getting them to quit or an hero over Twitter comments hurts the bottom line and wastes company resources when they have to fill their positions. Actual CEOs and large investors don't fricking use Twitter and their accounts are ran by fricking secretaries.
>I agree the devs aren't to blame and I don't care. I just want to lash out and cause whatever damage I can
at least you're the most honest about it than others who try to make the argument that devs deserve harassment. you're still a pos though kys
>waaahhh leave the multibillion dollar company alone
So do you prefer the taste of brown shoe polish or black?
I'm explicitly not defending the company. the company sucks ass. I'm defending the developers. they're laboring to make games with little control over the form the product ultimately takes. can you really not separate out wagecucks from execs?
As a former employee I can confidently say you are very very wrong. We implemented many last minute changes to the game. The only direction we are given from management is "make more money". They haven't funded Evil Mojo in about a year. Several senior devs just left or were moved to other projects. I'm still in touch with my old colleagues. It's been a shit show since Chris left.
As a former employee I can confidently say you are very very wrong. We had little to no input over changes to the game. All the direction we are given from management is "make more money".
Thanks for admitting defeat.
Why are devs so fricking uppity these days?
>make tribes ascend
>game so fun you manage to actually get reddit, Ganker, SA, and NeoGaf, all playing together and having the dreaded F word
>literally don't have to do anything
>introduce stronger hitscan weapons and put a hard cap on speed
>skill ceiling comes crashing down as new meta obliterates the fundamentals of the original play style
>game goes from the most promising online game and exports rising star, to dead in a year
I wouldn't listen to anyone in this company ever.
why do people play hi-rez games after they've killed so many of them in moronic ways?
are they braindead?
Hi-rez games are usually good for at least one week in their life cycle. People somehow get really attached to that short period of time.
MMO players are a good example of this, like Ragnarok's private server hoppers.
this is the exact reason why I won't try any new hi-rez games, I'm not going down that path of enjoying a game and then enduring their frickups
>even if the game is UNPLAYABLE
Nah c**t get harassed
>no let's not do no work, let's work actively to ruin a good thing we got going
Do vidya devs really?
Shak is the poojeet that spent a year remastering old, functional, aesthetically pleasing maps. He later graced the world with his magnum opus, the worst map in the game.
not surprising since their ex community manager was a complete karen
and i can play something else
frick your screencap thread OP
Hi-Rez can never, I repeat, EVER be trusted after what they did to Tribes
I will never not be mad about tribes ascend being just fricking garbage.
does anyone give a frick about these people aside from tribes
bring back tribes you fricking butthole
>bring back tribes
you really don't want them to do this
why not
Kek im gonna harrash him until they remove it again
We spent several generations telling kids to tell them to love themselves for who they are, to improve and better themselves and to not let words hurt them.
But now suddenly society slingshot into the opposite direction and unless you're getting botched surgeries and validating eachother into an endless circlejerk where truth is toxic and considered harassment and everyone needs to be someone they're not.
What the frick happened? Why is everyone so thin skinned, weak willed and whiny? We have companies who have fricking corporatized being a victim.
Pop culture has always been trash
>Opinions are my own and don't reflect employer's views
I love how these morons put things like this in their bio as if it somehow absolves them of their responsibility of being a representation of the company they work for, but then they post shit like the OP and think its totally fine to threaten making your product worse as some kind of vendetta against the people who were mean to you on the Internet.
I love it even more when they get blasted for their moronic behavior and set their account to private. Such cowards.
