Și site-urile au profiluri diferite.

A ok atunci. Nu le frecventez prea des asa ca toate imi pareau ca faceau acelasi lucru si ca la fel de bine pot fi interschimbabile.

[TG]

Se indreapta cam in directia aia oricum. Mai ales Eurogamer cu RPS, diferenta mare e ca pe RPS sunt doar jocuri de PC. Dar nu inteleg de ce esti surprins, se practica si la noi in multe domenii. Vezi emag sau firme care sunt inregistrate sub nume diferite si au site-uri diferite pe primele pozitii de pe Google. E o strategie de marketing foarte folosita.

Asta mi se pare interesant. De ce ar avea nevoie un singur business de mai multe site-uri cu exact acelasi public tinta?

E cam ca Wrigley's care are Orbit, Five, si o gramada de altele. Spawnezi produse sau achizitionezi altele ca sa ocupi cat mai mult din piata si sa nu-i dai altuia sansa sa incerce.

În altă ordine de idei, RPS au făcut redesign la site. Cam meh dpmdv.

Arată oribil. Pe de altă parte, orice motiv în plus să nu le mai fac trafic triștilor ălora e o chestie bună in my book

[rege]

Ăla de la Valve era un informator comunist. Sunt mai multe indicii, dar cel mai relevant este că explică mult, permutând aceeaşi informaţii.

Relansarea RPS mi se pare că face parte dintr-un trend mai mare care s-ar putea numi "blogging e (din nou) cool". Are sens oarecum, cu FB şi Tumblr par a fi pe moarte iar instagram... lol u serious? În fine.

Origin's free game program On the House has been 'retired'

Electronic Arts [...] pulled the plug on Origin's "On the House" program, which provided free games to everyone—including non-Access subscribers—on an intermittent, time-limited basis.

On the House debuted in 2014 with the most excellent survival-horror game Dead Space, and since then has made numerous other games, including Bejeweled, Battlefield 3, Theme Hospital, Syndicate, Peggle, and Dragon Age: Origins, free for the taking, without catches or take-backs. The games generally weren't EA's latest and greatest but free is free, and dated or not a lot of the games it offered were really quite good.

Blizzard confirms “multiple Diablo projects” in production, news by end of 2018

Mă gândeam la camere de gazare, eficiente, dar se moare prea lejer. Am nevoie de ceva mai dureros dar care să se poată aplica unui număr mari de oameni, arme chimice? Să vedem.

[Mahdi]

Ia să vedem ce ar putea fi:
- Diablo the card game
- Diablo the multiplayer survival sandbox
- Diablo battle royale

Abia aștept!

[TG]

Diablo the card game nu cred, ar fi prea complicat pentru audiența țintă. Păcat că au deja un moba, Diablo MOBA ar fi fost de-a dreptul world shattering.

Obsidian Entertainment might be acquired by Microsoft according to a letter of Intent

E la nivel de barfa pentru moment, dar nu pare imposibil, mai ales dupa E3-ul de anul asta cand Microsoft au anuntat ca au cumparat multiple studiouri.

Inside the culture of sexism at Riot Games

“Here at Riot Games, we hire gamers,” he said in his talk to an audience of Riot employees, audio of which was obtained by Kotaku. “If you’re not a core gamer, you need to over-index in another area.” Whether it’s finance, development facilities, player support, he said, “I don’t give a shit. You’re better if you’re a gamer.” For six minutes, the producer recounted a story of his experience preparing to raid the original World of Warcraft’s Naxxramas dungeon, introduced in 2006. It was 300 hours of raiding into his game, and he detailed the effort, the passion, and the grit it took for him to attain the opportunity. And then, before the raid, his internet died, and he let down his team. The experience gave him an “acid turn” in his stomach, he said, and has become a story he’s kept in his pocket for a decade. “Think of your story,” he demands. “If you don’t have one, get one. I’m serious.”

lol ce penibili

[zme-ul]

lol ce penibili

articolul? da, execrabil
sau oare tu te referi la Riot?

[TG]

Haha, ăsta e execrabil. Dar articolele SENZAȚIONAL pe care le pune zmeul cu foști angajați. Alea sunt ok, numai de bine. Anyway, am râs tare la faza cu PC master race, când ei fac o mizerie de moba. Și angajează "gameri". Vai de ei săracii.

[Stokkolm]

Preferencing Riot’s definition of “core” gamers during hiring means drawing in employees from a larger pool of men than women. Avid players of MOBAs (multiplayer online battle arenas, a genre encompassing popular games including League of Legends and Dota 2) and first-person shooter fans are typically men. Game data company Quantic Foundry surveyed over 270,000 gamers worldwide between July 2015 and January 2017 on what game titles they enjoy playing and reported that only 10% of gamers who play MOBAs are female. For first-person shooters, that number is 7%. Without examining why these gaming genres are heavily male, Riot’s apparent job candidate expectations can create a very stratified workplace, where women, who are less likely to be megafans of these games, are considered lesser Rioters because of the way they grew up. Several women interviewed by Kotaku said that, even after getting hired, they felt they were not taken seriously by colleagues or managers because they weren’t steeped in the competitive online gaming tradition.

Aloo, cotacu, intr-un paragraf vorbesti de meritocratie, aboi te intorci 180 ca "stii nu e corect sa selectionezi angajatii pe baza care e mai gamer, ca fetele nu sunt asa gameri". Make up your mind.

Ma rog, inteleg si nemultumirile din articolul asta intr-o oarecare masura. Dar e si prea mult entitlement. Pozitiile de conducere sunt un privilegiu, nu un drept. Daca cineva nu te pune pe pozitie de conducere ca nu-i place de moaca ta, e perfect valid. Esti intr-o societate capitalista, nu una ceausista sa primesti posturi pe degeaba.

THQ Nordic acquires Timesplitters (& Second Sight)

[zme-ul]

Dar articolele SENZAȚIONAL pe care le pune zmeul cu foști angajați.

ce vorbesti amice? ce articole cu fosti angajati am pus eu?

[zme-ul]

Aloo, cotacu,

bah, care-i problema voastra?! va deranjeaza ca Riot si altii fac angajari pe ce criterii le fute mintea lor?! sunt ilegale? nu! .. si atunci!?
sunt o companie privata ca pot sa faca angajari dupa marimea pulii, daca vor - te deranjeaza? nu te obliga nimeni sa lucrezi pentru ei; nu-ti convine politica lor, nu te obliga nimei sa folosesti produsele lor

mi se pare mie sau voi sunteti din generatia asta care sunt ofensati de orice

---

sunteti la fal ca The Verge si Polygon care recent au fost extrem de ofensati ca un streamer pe Twitch nu doreste sa aiba femei in stream

[TG]

Pari un pic cam ofensat zmeule.
