GamesBeat - Game developers must avoid the 'wage-slave' attitude - by Alex
St. John.
"Anybody good enough to get hired to write games can get paid more to
work on something else. If working on a game for 80 hours a week for months
at a time seems 'strenuous' to you … practice more until you’re better at
it. Making games is not a job, pushing a mouse is not a hardship, it’s the
most amazing opportunity you can possibly get paid to pursue … start
believing it, and you’ll discover that you are even better at it."
Sorry that the
Overwatch beta is done already, I had a ton of fun playing
with my pals in the short time it was up, though the game is a far cry from
being what you would call balanced at this point. For me it's provided the most
enjoyable gameplay from this weekend's three multiplayer shooter betas, though
we've also gotten a kick out of
Battleborn, which is very entertaining,
as the humor lives up to the high standard set by Borderlands.
