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.
