Smart Game Development..

Mon Mar 06, 2017 3:54 pm

I'm always amazed at the stupid game development that goes on in their industry: absurd goals with open-ended development, large investment pools, and building (nearly compounding) debt. There are of course exceptions to this with small yet good development teams, moderately-well researched desires from various gaming communities, tight development with clear deadlines, etc..

This however takes that target-marketing to another level (on a do-or-die basis):

It's not just game development. It's software development in general. Every segment of the software development industry has its share of poorly managed projects.
Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.
