Grants are the reason game developers today prioritize political statements over quality products. And with so much alternative revenue, the success of the game is less relevant. So boycotts are not the solution. I think we should all start making our own games today. (media.scored.co)

the pay off is so cheap but the damage is insane

ELEX 2 also got like a 150,000€ from the (((EU))) which is why it was full of feminism, faggotry, niggers (there were zero niggers in the previous installation) and all sorts of woman/faggot design

game bombed on launch and costed the studio its future, now i have to wonder are game-devs really wishing to throw their studio to the bin for a measily 150,000€/170,000$? its sounds insane and jewish (lowballing) but its been the go-to method for woke faggotry for the past decade

As if they wouldn't do it for free anyways. The government money is just a sweet bonus to them.

It's not the devs doing it, or even the studio. It's the CEO, on the advice of the "consulting" company. He pays them, pockets the rest, and moves on to his next victim.

Sounds like survival of the fittest. Any company that chooses to hire these people deserves to fail. We can stay angry for much longer than they can stay solvent. When all we have to do to win is nothing, our victory is inevitable.

150,000 euros is chump change for a studio. It will MAYBE pay for one programmer for one year...................................

the question is... who pockets the 150,000 euros? can't be split over the whole team...

Its added to the cash pile of the company, then used to show investors/hire people (for small studios, it's never guaranteed you get paid btw, or that the contributions to your 401(k) are actually maded, etc etc. I've seen studios even lie about insurancec).

Well there is another aspect to it: corruption. Sometimes companies are purposefully made to fail to lower their share costs and allow for insider trading or a cheaper buyout / merger. This would require some shady power that controls the majority of the industry through finance, but it's possible and has happened before in other industries. I don't know enough to talk about it much, I'm ignorant and I think it's just a theory.

I think some game studios believe they are too big to fail when working with giant IPs like Star Wars, Marvel or Doctor Who. And that's true (to an extent) because it takes time for an IP to be tainted by new renditions.

An honest person recognizes that accepting a bribe risks the operation, and factors that risk into the size of the bribe they would accept.

A normie sees nothing but free money and will accept absurdly low bribes. State reps might vote a certain way for $10k.
