Well the good thing about so-called "AAA" is that there will be so many hundreds of people in the building that responsibility will feel so dispersed that you'll effectively be an observer of the spectacle, despite being on the inside.

The AAA term in gamedev makes me laugh. As if it's some kind of status symbol. Just call it industrial-scale or factory-farming.

Same for those who work at Facebook and Google I imagine.

"It's not my fault my company is hurtling us towards a dystopian surveillance society."

History is full of people like that.

And so is the present, which is something we'd all do well to remember.

And most of them shouldn't, the raindrops on the art team didn't create always online DRM for a single player game.

I realize they didn't come up with this, but I first read it here: https://despair.com/products/irresponsibility

I’ll trade you for two: “the fish rots from the head”, and “a witty saying proves nothing”.
