Why do they continue to go through the interview cycle and look for yet another corporate job. Go make a game!
I voluntarily left my corporate job after nearly 20 years when the opportunity to be “laid off” was presented to me. Didn’t bother with interviews at all. I do everything as contracts and consulting. I can pick and choose what I want to bid on, who I want to work for, and what I’m in the mood to do. I took a month off because I had just done a big job and got paid enough that I figured why not. Now I’m looking into subbing some menial tasks to family and friends. I’m training some teenagers to do some of it. They get good pay, I get to help the future of white men. All of the “benefits” can be bought. If you need health insurance go buy it, retirement do it yourself. Who needs stock awards when you control the income.
Yeah I was well connected from years of doing good work etc, but someone who was at Rockstar that long should be as well.
Do you just go around and bitch at anyone and anything that’s done anything at all positive? Maybe if you’d get off your ass and try something your life wouldn’t be such shit.
Nothing I do ever works out or benefits me, why bother? It's why I fucking hate all you faggots telling people like me to kill ourselves gambling on starting a business that's doomed for failure.
It's all just networking for me. Sort of the benefit of developing friendships from work, everyone knows everyone else. Started out just talking to guys after I was out of corporate and it was "oh hey you can help me with this I'm working on." My former company and all it's peers contract out so much of what employees used to do, but most of it is on a pay-per-job not hourly basis so many won't test the uncertainty. I do a little of both depending on the task. For sake of context it's basically the industrial side of tech, so let's just call it utilities versus software an IT. I'm not sure it would work in software and IT because it's so infiltrated by Indians. But for a good game dev, use that severance I'm sure he got, get with your friends that were also gone, make a game and put it on sale.
You overestimate what you need for this. The only thing you truly need to succeed at what cccp is suggesting is networking. This is a lot easier said then done, but if you have it (and said Rockstar dev damn well should with a resume of working there for so long), that really is the biggest and hardest fight already solved. The next part is just applying it properly

"Why are you seeking stable pay? Just gamble your entire life away on something doomed to fail on arrival. "

If your answer is I’m never going to do anything because I will fail then you are a self fulfilling prophecy.
Nice. Do you use any kind of lead generation or are your clients just from networking at this point?

Great, now where do the tens of millions of dollars needed to fund it come from?
