That’s actually really sweet
I just joined Respawn from another studio and sh*t like this makes me feel like I made the right move.
There’s good people here.
It’s why I’ve been trying so hard to get into respawn - values like this are so important to me. It doesn’t seem like it’s too common of a thing in the gaming industry from what I can see, maybe one day I’ll get there 😅
I agree it still feels rare. That said, I’ve sensed a shift over the last five years or so. Devs and publishers and even players talk more about taking care of ourselves and working (and playing) in a way that’s more healthy and sustainable. Kinda feels like the industry is growing up? One can hope.
Re this:
maybe one day I’ll get there 😅
Feel free to DM if you ever want career advice. More than happy to pass on the few paltry kernels of wisdom I’ve picked up so far.
Because you are the (new) Director of Comms, if I may make a suggestion.
There has been times in the past when as players/customers we felt left in the dark regarding bugs, stability issues, etc. Just a simple reddit post or tweet saying "Hey, we know there is a problem with X, Y and Z and we are working on it."
Yeah I hear ya on that. One thing I noticed just yesterday: There’s still some basic stuff we’re missing like the ability to do small in-game “toast” notifications about hotfixes, just to give one example.
I wanna address issues like that so we don’t have to do too much of the old-school community manager “I’ll pass that on to the devs” thing. People get sick of that routine after a while.
Wait...Cactopus??
REBORN ANEW
Wait, are you u/The_Cactopus from League of Legends?
Ye, although that account is officially going into retirement now. Feels wrong to take it outside the League world
