The cycle of mass layoffs in game development isn’t a problem of the industry’s inherent “instability.” It’s a problem of exploitation.

    Games

    Stop

    And don’t confuse high budget indie studios with AAA game developers

      I think I’m doing my part as a patient gamer.

        Man this is the way… I just started fo4. Got the bundle with all dlc for like $30.

        2 days later got the massive patch.

        And if runs on Linux… patient gaming is the best way

          I think being a patient gamer makes more sense nowadays (or at least since PS3/PS4 days) than it did before.

          Many games are unfinished, unoptimized or need patches, and all this annoying experience is for the users which I like to call “unpaid beta testers” then when all the needed fixes arrive we can fully enjoy the best experience, at the best price.

        I recently played RDR2 and Witcher 3. They’re very good AAA
