Heads would roll if this was anything but a Nintendo game. Instead the fans are more concerned about people emulating/pirating the game than an apolitical industry issue.

I don't care. Nintendo, Sony, Fromsoft, whoever. I don't care.
fpbp
maybe he shouldn't have left the company
>cant pursue other opportunities or else credit stolen because you didnt meet the company's arbitrarily decided amount of time you have to be on the project to get credited
bootlicker
You put games you worked on on your CV anon? No, you out the company and the duration you worked there.
Go donate to Patreon if you want to be credited something
you're either serious about something or you're not
don't expect your name on something you didn't finish
Code monkeys are expendable and worth less than their paycheck, the opinions of expendables who couldn't follow orders well enough to keep a job are worth nothing
This happened before. I think it was Nintendo last time, too.
it was rockstar as well
Why should I care? How do the credits affect my ability to play the game? I ain't reading the credits.
>Did you work on a game?
>Yes.
>Ok here is your name on the credits. This may also help you in future career prospects.
Simple as.
>Why should I care?
Nobody's asking you to.
>company requires you to notify them 40 days beforehand if you want to leave
>leave without previous notice
>b***h about it having consequences
windows developers don't get credited, apple developers don't get credited, 99% of website developers don't get credited. who the frick gives a shit if some homosexual that worked a company for a month or less doesn't get credited on a game?
>Heads would roll if this was anything but a Nintendo game
kek
Nintendo is the scummiest video game company there is. why does this surprise you?
Remember that time Sony was hacked and waited a week to tell millions of users their address and bank information was on the internet?
Probably not zoomer.
and? what does that have to do with anything?
Shows there are other worse scummy companies out there moron
well no company is your friend. all of them have done the worst bad and when they felt the bad was so over the line that anyone could see it, they suddenly are good to you again.
English motherfricker
>they suddenly are good to you again
Who are you quoting
Nah I don't think omitting information is worse than sending goons to people's houses because they leaked info about your next hardware or game. Nintendo is still king of scumbags
Think about the information being omitted dumbfrick
Yeah, losing your savings is worse than getting pulled in an alley and mysteriously disappeared because videogames are serious business?
You wanna talk personal info, ok how about Nintendo's surveillance programs complete with hired investigators over modders, emulators and fan game producers of their IPs?
Thank you based corporation! Let us all buy their next product fellow Ganker users!
moron
>goons to people's houses because they leaked info about your next hardware or game
I don’t think there is anything wrong with this. You mess with a company’s product you deserve the consequences.
Based
Not based
ESL leave
>join one development day before printing
>WHY ISN'T MY NAME ON THE GAME I WANTED TO BE CREDITED IN THE SAME LINE AS PEOPLE WHO WORKED ON IT THE ENTIRE TIME
Applies to multiple industries, not just games or even nintendo
>gave out two games for it
>sorry prease understand, enjoy fattu princess and wipeouto
MercurySteam =/= Nintendo
Oh shit, it's over.
Nintendo doesn't dare to respond.
Reminder that MercurySteam is not on Dread's boxart not even on the backside nor are they even on the title screen. For all intents and purposes a casual consumer looking at the game would assume it was an in-house Nintendo title.
Honestly at this point I'm half expecting Nintendo just to straight up buy them out like they did with Rare and Retro.
MS hasn't displayed half the quality those two studios and they just sold half the company to another third party
This is a good thing though
Nintendo is my friend so it's okay if they do bad things they didn't mean it.
Honestly this. I love them so much bros
every company does this shit
>have a stated policy on work done for name in the credits
>was very likely in the terms of your contract
>b***h when it happens only because the game was a success
Nothing's stopping these people from still putting the game in their CVs
Every thread from development hell I wonder myself, is there any reason to not work on indie exclusively?
game dev seems fricked as hell. Indie is too risky unless you already have an established reputation, and AAA gamedev is a shit ton of crunch and shitty work practices/culture for a quarter of the pay and twice the hours that high quality web dev or corporate software application development pay.
>Work for huge publisher
>they give you a chance to make a triple A game for them
>Every single person you've hired to make that game somehow does not make it into the Gold you ship out to NInty for review
>Ninty now tasked with finding out literally everyone who worked for the game or else they're unfair bigots
Fun game, don't care.
>Heads would roll if this was anything but a Nintendo game.
Zenimax did exactly that with John Carmack's work on Doom 2016. He was the co-lead engine programmer and he's also the reason Snapmap exists.
>sign contract that says "your name won't be in the credits if you don't work here for at least 25% of dev time"
>leave company before you've been there for 25% of dev time
>WHAT THE FRICK WHY AM I NOT IN THE CREDITS
are all spaniards this moronic
That doesn’t make it okay
clearly they thought it was okay, or they wouldn't have signed the contract
Don't sign a contract with terms you don't acknowledge the terms of. Additionally, it seems that the main dude in the initial report broke termination protocol to top it off. It's also strange that people seem to feel that being in the credits is the only way to have proof of employment or to validate an inclusion of a project on your resume.
Because all these people moaning about it either don't have jobs or have a CV with five lines in it and don't understand you don't list everything you do on it.
>happens constantly in gaming industry
>dev keep mouth shut because they don't want to get blacklisted
>last time there was any controversy it was for Kojima who was worshiped
>dev of metroid dread doesn't keep his mouth shut
>story will go nowhere
>dev will be blacklisted from ever working for anyone
Don't care, buying three copies as i post.
>join new job same week they are handing out bonuses
>WHAT THE FRICK WHERE IS MY BONUS I WORK HERE TOO
They got paid anyway so frick off.
Credit is how they get a new job. Metroid dread will probably be GOTY and they won’t be able to say “hey look I worked on the GOTY”
You are defending this
You shouldn't be saying that in your CV either. You say the date you worked there and when you left.
You've never worked a day in your life anon
They shouldn't have left then, i will credit you when you complete the work.
>put game on your resume as work done
>company hiring you calls the manager of your previous studio to confirm credits
>manager says yes even if you aren't in the in-game credits
Simple as.
So do people actually read credits? I hope Kotaku is sitting through each credit sequence. Ideally Far Cry 2 and AC Rogue.
I wouldn't want to be associated with development of a mobile game.
Agreed but we aren't talking about a mobile game here, keep up anon.
>a twitter screencap of a clickbait headline
everybody else ITT is a homosexual
>kotaku obsessed with nintendo
can the hulkster kill these Black folk forever
Discussion is literally pointless here because it's always nintendo good everyone else bad
