Not caring that much about the photo op going by someone the expressions and body language. Which is what I would prefer compared to the over preening narcissists trying to claim game dev status these days. You are there to do a job, not look pretty for pictures.
There's like 3.5 fucks in that entire room, and not the fake "I'm too cool to care" posing, straight up "urgh, I hate this bullshit"
That's the look of a lot of guys who know they have a lot of work to do today and the company is wasting thier time on nonsense like this.
That's exactly the feeling I got from this photo. "Ugh, that dutchy Vermeij called us all to the break room for a photo when we need to continue finishing GTA 3D before our publishers yoink all our funding. If this shit bombs no-one will remember this, especially not after Getaway launches."
$5m was all they had to develop GTA 3. Once more, like the original 2D title, the game is going over-budget and over-long on its dev time; it was supposed to be out for Christmas 2000 on the Dreamcast. Then the Dreamcast died and it still wasn't close to finished. Summer 2001 is optimistic and then 9/11 comes, and they need to make necessary alterations just as the discs are getting ready to be pressed.
The game ended up making $300m in gross.
Holy shit. Thanks. Super cool to know that given I really enjoyed that game as a kid.
Not a single woman or troon in sight.
I think the centermost one is a woman, but she's naturally ugly so probably good at her job.
Nah, looks more like it's just a nerdy man with narrow shoulders and a ponytail. They're a dime a dozen in the UK, especially in the late 90s.
It's alright, the same sort of people that made them social pariahs and sneered at every opportunity about their "childish fucking job" are now the same people who'd ensure 95% of these guys couldn't even get their foot in the door.
Men start new hobby
Said hobby gives women the "ick", they dont join
Founding men dont care if people like their hobby or not
Hobby grows in popularity, there is now a social advantage to being part of said hobby even if its to say youre in a niche thing
Women now sense that the hive mind finds the hobby acceptable, so they invade
Women are initially allowed in, but soon demand changes to the hobby
Core group leaves
Look at all this white supremacy. I'm telling reddit
100% recruited on merit
White men making brilliant entertainment for White kids & young adults.
The fact I even think this way shows me what we’ve lost and how radicalized I’ve become in 25 years.
Me too.
WHERE THE FUCK IS THE DIVERSITY. I'M HAVING A PANIC ATTACK
It wasn't even an official team photo, just a bunch a guys showing off they picked up a bitchin' coin operated pool table from the classifieds.
Frat boy and nerd culture forever changed because of phones and big bang theory.. sad.
Everybody is skinny, too.
The GTA games were always amazing achievements, especially back then. From the first one giving you an open world that seemed "alive" and letting you do whatever you wanted (and dealing with the consequences), the second one perfecting that model, and the third one bringing it to the 3D space.
White and nerdy.
My, how the gaming industry has changed.
