@sanjazakovska: Devs watching QA test the product
respec to the game dev peeps who added their salary to the doc ✊
To those of you who are somehow angered by this and weren't the target of the tweet: the only people who should be mad about greater transparency re: wages across any industry are C-suite Execs
I'm tired
@Smokey24547393 @AllenOLantern @muffcabbagev4 I watch a lot of movies. I'm not an expert on the inside workings of the film industry.
Sit down.
@muffcabbagev4 That's the whole point my dude. It SHOULD be based on talent/skill and representation of all types of people. You're taking to me about the industry I have been in for years. Don't try and tell me how it is here on the inside
@ArsenicThreat nah, unionising is something for which I strongly advocate. Game Dev is a "young" industry that blew up relatively overnight. Lots of catch-up to do
To address a few responses from non-game dev peeps:
Game Dev is predominantly white & male (72% and 75% respectively with some variation depending upon country). It's becoming more diverse in recent years across all fronts, LGBTQ+ more than gender but we still have a way to go.
dear dudes in Game Dev (especially if ur white & cis)
There's lots out there on how to support and advocate for women in your workplace. I'd like to add:
Sharing you salary helps women and other marginalised folks know their worth and negotiate
@egoraptor: It’s uncomfortable to speak up against men you work with for being flippant misogynist pricks but I guarantee you it ain’t h…
@AnnaJMcDougall Ah, I'll be working. Hope you have fun!
@AnnaJMcDougall What time is "tonight"? 🙂
@absrdlyobfscatd Look where you decided to complain about our (hard working) QA.
Game devs spreading awareness about the industry in which we work- in this case sexual harrassment, inequity in salary, abuse, bro culture and, a suicide - is not the place to bring up bugs in any game you play
@absrdlyobfscatd
@ComplexMinded you're a good egg
It's systemic, that isn't hyperbole.
Sad.

@nightchade_2000 yeah I can't unsee beef jerky now :(

@xavierck3d Lol
@DylanSanford8 @ComplexMinded k, tried convincing myself and I said "hell no, a large reason we are suffering perf issues is due to the event rates and the effect they have memory and delta time on busy official servers"
