"Actually the reason is that I haven't found a niche that I can fulfil. If I found a demand that I could supply within my community, then I have the capital to undertake a business venture. You're not very bright if you think that it only takes courage to start a business."

That is a nice excuse, ow wait then why does my town have like 50 different electricians i can contact ... hmmm or plumbers ? hmmm why are there so many game companies in the world? hmmm interesting, lot of niches going around apparently!
Every idea, that you ever had, someone already had it.

"That garage cost money, the computers cost money, the electricity cost money. If I recall correctly that money was made in card games."

YES, waw, you need a MILLION dollars to work from all of that! What a marvelous argument!
You can go to a client, tell him: "I need some cash up front because I need to buy a computer, rent a garage and pay for electricity." BOOM! 0 money required!
Clients pay you upfront to make a product. How else do you think studios pay their workers?????

"The only one acting like a victim around here is you. We are being empathetic to the employees being harmed by exploitative business practices, and that offends you so much that you feel the need to go on the attack."

Why is everyone so empathetic to employees? They can ALWAYS LEAVE. No one is forcing them to stay! Stop making excuses for them. It's the excusive behavior that is bothering me! If they are stuck there, it is their OWN fault!
If it was SSOOOOO bad, then why is the company still afloat? Why isn't 99% of the employees complaining about it? A company cannot work without employees!
I will blame the company WHEN the company goes under. That is the companies own fault!

You all realize that you can FIND a job while doing another job, right? It ain't hard, open your browser and google for a different job. So when you found a different job, you can leave the previous job. Not being able to put food on the table is a lazy BS excuse. And if you REALLY hate the job, you can always find a job as a garbage collector so you can leave asap and then find another job while doing the garbage collecting. Period! Stop with the excuses!

Why should the company change for the workers? If you come and apply for a job and the company says: "you will have to do a lot of overtime and crunching" If after that, you accept the contract... That is NOT the business problem, that is your own fault for accepting the contract! They didn't put a gun to your head and make you sign it. If the company changed while you were there, you can ALWAYS find a different job! Stop making excuses.

And if you all know it soooooo well on how to do it... make your own company and proof it!

streaming games is still too soon.
Our internet wiring isn't fast enough. It takes a few milliseconds to send data to another location so there will always be lag input.
This is only perfect for games like assasins creed but not for fast action first person shooters.

Re: Panic Button "Very In Demand" After Successful Switch Ports, Working On Several Projects

@Varkster actually this has always been done like that. Why do you think you see multiple splash screens of different companies at the start of games?? It's a lot cheaper to just hire a company to do it than hire/train people to do it. Because those companies already have the expertise while if you want to train people, it could take years to have that same level of expertise.

@BezBot I'm actually considering selling my ps4 and wii u, just to buy a second switch.

The joycon's cost me 80 € for a new pair ... Might as well get a new switch, so i can play future games that don't have split screen but still allow for lan play.
plus i have 2 kids
and i can use the 2 new joycons from the new switch also on the other switch to play with 4 people mario kart split screen.
