Bad Day at Day 1?

[Dec 03, 2011, 12:35 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

Day 1 Studios has suffered a round of job losses, reports GameSpot, citing a "source" in saying the developer lost a deal with Konami to create an unannounced Silent Scope remake, and has laid off 95% of the team that was working on the project. They say a "significantly smaller" team remains intact at work on a different project. This is still unconfirmed, as this information is not yet verified by either Konami or Day 1.

Gaming is my #1 hobby, but I would never even contemplate working in this industry, it is one of the most volatile you could ever be in. Constant turnover, moving around the country for work every couple years, long work weeks fighting to be paid for your overtime, lack of work/life balance, the list goes on. I will stick to playing them, while thanking those that make them, because I sure as hell couldn't do it.

Damn right, horrible horrible work with little chance of a big reward. Working independently would be a huge improvement if you can make enough to get by - at least you've got a chance, albeit a tiny chance, of making a fortune and it's not as soul destroying.

I think being a wage slave at a big developer would kill my passion for gaming.
