Once had a job interview for a game design position where they gave me a sheet of paper and asked me to come up with 3 game ideas in 30 minutes and then pitch them. In the end I didn't get the job. They said 'these ideas don't seem very well thought through' no duh
Square Enix selling their western studios for 300 million so they can 'invest in blockchain' is very funny to me. Like selling your house for magic beans.
The real clincher was the CEO said 'yeah were trying to hire someone to do all the work I can't be bothered to do' then as soon as he left the room (halfway through the interview because he was busy !!) Someone asked me 'how well do you deal with difficult personalities?' !!!
I've never worked in the AAA space but I just don't understand how you can have hundreds of employees, millions of dollars, like 5 years of development time, and not being able to make one sci-fi shooter game.
Some responses to this saying 'maybe they were trying to steal your ideas' and I don't think so. This was a mobile game company that made cooking / farming sims. idk how useful 'what if a dog had a grappling hook' would be to them.
I laughed when he named all the indiest indies he had played and it was like... Hollow Knight, Celeste, Cuphead... Some of the most popular video games of the past 10 years
