It’s safe to say quarantine development has been a disaster for gaming

Even solid devs like Insomniac have put out buggier than usual games with rift apart and miles morales.

let’s not even talk about games like Cyberpunk, Avengers or Battlefield 2042…

this working from home mess has really affected the quality of “AAA” games. Get these devs back in the studio ASAP.

I don’t care if everyone has to be masked up to do it; working from home just slows everything down 1000% and makes ppl lazy

wfh in game development is here to stay. Insomniac, naughty dog, and insomniac hiring for remote work.

it’s better in the long run you can recruit talent from all over in greater numbers

but the Q & A has to be stepped up.

that’s why I think every game announced for 2022 is getting a delay (that wasn’t delayed into 2022)

Sure it’s slowed stuff down, but I don’t think it’s the cause for buggy games.

Games are more complicated than ever and devs have to support more platforms than ever. Gonna take a minute for them to hit their stride on the new consoles.
