I mean honestly it makes sense. If we assume that the average game dev is similar to the average "hardcore" gamer, then we can only assume that they're toxic little shits ๐
She has a great deal of respect for the devs/writers/artists/workers. Its the system itself and the execs that are fucked. The toxic atmosphere they cultivate keeps churn high so profits stay high. They build a bad place that attracts bad people that stay and good people that should leave, and they dont give a fuck as long as "number goes up."
