Western games are shit because they keep increasing the number of staff and the budget though.

>Eastern GameDev moment.

we learned from sony leaks that it can be the opposite

Never happened.

this but it's ALAWAS the third installment

meanwhile "eastern" games are nothing but the most cancerous aspects of modern gaming: extreme emphasis on superficial shit like coomerism and gacha while keeping the gameplay stuck in the 2000s with no innovation.

Yes, when the creative motive is supplanted by the profit motive decisions are made by profit minded morons who have no experience with the creative act. That's my diagnosis for this entire remake era in media, where legacy companies are inherited by businessmen who just want them to be GDP growth machines.

Another 200 million for a random manager! Now he's the boss and doesn't contribute to the game's success in any way.

What do you call this level of sheer lack of basic intelligence?

Titles such as Star Citizen show the value of managers and other 'do nothing' bosses.

No it's more like
>Hey that original did great
>So we're going to give you 5 times the budget and half the time to ride the hype
>Oh, and make you spend most of your resources on things that don't matter like insanely detailed face pores and making sure every minority is voiced by a minority of the same race.

>>But this time we will reduce the number of employees on your team by half.

instant GOTY material for not replacing the team with quintuple pajeet interns

How does casting a black person cost more than casting a white person? This assertion always seemed silly to me, like typing out "type a" instead of "male" in a text box somehow bloated a game budged by 10 million lol

Not that anon but maybe it could go down like this
>Make a game
>Hire a consultancy firm to ensure there's no wrongthink in the game (-a few tens of thousands of dollars probably)
>Have to waste time changing the game to suit their criticisms (-a work day for an intern)
>Potentially have to rewrite large portions of the game or recast a voice actor you've already paid (game delayed and millions lost)

>>723563080
>hire the chimpanzee instead of your go-to senior programmer to fill the mandatory diversity slot
>hire consultancy firms to make sure he's 'black enough' to meet quotas
>heed glass ceiling laws that themselves lead to massive pay disparities when you control for responsibilities and general usefulness
>the competent white guys left see above and jump ship instead of training their replacements for slave wages

>>723561567
>It happened
>I just have no source
It never happened. Communists are dishonest.

reminder that you support this happening and are just blaming others

Ironically SE did that to bravely Default.

So do you have any evidence or is it all hypothetical?

>You have an idea for a cool game, that's wonderful.
>We just need to clarify a few things about how your team works.
>you will have less budget funds.

>we will reduce the development time of your game
>you have to sell more copies of the game than the last time.
>Oh, you failed? How sad.
>Now you will be a slave to our company for the rest of your days, your opinion will not be taken into account and you will work on completely shitty games.

I think they just like to torture talented people.

Could be any more ESL, Mehul?

This happened in the good ol' days too. For example: mega man and crash.

>“In the 1990s, every new Sega office was equipped with nap rooms and showers. Even in the 2000s, the two Haneda bases still had them, and I believe people continued to use them,” Yoshida comments. “It was basically expected that people would be sleeping over at the office.”

Meanwhile, Eastern GameDev.

finally, some decent bait
