People News Josh Sawyer plans to develop a historical RPG after his current project

[ZagorTeNej]

I'm betting most prominent western devs donated to/support Anita, it's stupid to single out Sawyer in that regard. He's not your prototypical SJW hipster dev by any means (studied history, likes guns, values core gameplay, recognizes that there's a hardcore subset of PC RPG players etc.), that said if you're making a history RPG and make too many concessions to the perpetually offended crowd it could end up diluting the experience, we'll see I guess (if Fergie allows).

First world vs third world itt

Yeah, if by 1st World you mean having financial powerhouses like Silicon Valley and Hollywood, and still managing to go bankrupt.

I think he donated around 5k-10k each to Anita and Felicia Day (for some dead KS project lmao).

No. He specifically referred to it as a "trivial" amount of money.

What makes you think 5k isn't a trival amount to Josh? I would assume that it's about half a week's income for him, and there's plenty of nerds who spend a larger portion of their salary on stuff like action figures and cosmetic DLC (or on Kickstarter tiers).

He has a mortgage to think about.

Coulda swore I saw an archived SA post from Sawyer specifically mentioning the amount, but don't grill me for it.

You think he's netting $500k/year?

He might be making somewhere around 1/5 of that.

 

[Ninjerk]

Maybe Obsidian got into real estate.

500k is ludicrous, but Lead Designers/Directors with 10-20 years of experience apparently make ~120-150k/year in California. Saywer has what, 17 years of experience as game designer? He's been working there for 10, leads projects and is their "Design Director". He's making more than 100k.

 

[GrainWetski]

Lots of people fell for Anita's first scam. It doesn't really say anything about him regardless of how much he makes, beyond him caring about something as dumb as what she promised. Falling for it twice(not saying he did) is an entirely different matter as it means you're beyond retarded with way too much money to spare or in on the scam.

 

[Crescent Hawk]

Makes perfect sense, in a way POE tries to be a lot like 30 years war ambient thingy.

History as a lot of untapped value if it is treated correctly, which games never did, except in a way wargames.

For change to actually play historical rpg or change mock attempt of one

Yep. And, after taxes, he'd be lucky to net $100k. As I said - 1/5.

Bubbles, I want you to know you've become one of those people that when you seem to make a weird mistake I assume you're doing some kind of satire

Income tax in CA is that high? Damn.

Love how conversations disappear around here, when they don't fit the official narrative. Its like 1984 or Facebook.

What conversation?

 

[Fairfax]

The post about other posts being deleted and the answers to my question were also moved.

Btw, there's nothing to suggest they have an anti-white hiring policy at all.


We'll see if they pulled a Numenera in Tyranny, though.

Don't be cheeky. Women don't count, even more favored by incloosive policies in a tech company.

The admins should just write "don't discuss things like the 'war on white people' outside of the politics forum" into the forum rules and be done with it.

And for the record: I do not believe that Obsidian Entertainment is pursuing a policy of white genocide.

I thought that was covered by

Due to a number of miserable cunts coming here purely to post crap about Joos, womyns and L|BRULS (thanks to our slightly more hands-off approach to moderation), you will only be granted access to the General Discussion and Politics forums once you have been a member for 12 months or more. This is designed to encourage people who want to come here to talk about boring stuff like games - and discourage people who really should be at StormFront instead.

 

[Excidium II]

Doesn't mean you can't talk about it. Just that the priority of users should be games, more specifically of the role-playing variety.

Discussing propaganda content in games also counts. Just like movies and books have propaganda, so do games.

 

[Taka-Haradin puolipeikko]

I just thought that " this message has been moved to ..." would make shit posting a little bit more difficult for the most egregious shit posters.

 

[Excidium II]

Of course gossiping about developer's love life is fineposting.

Well, that obviously hasn't worked.

True. I'm no fan of his, but I think Sawyer would feel really uncomfortable seeing the discussions here. His mortgage, girlfriend pics, salary, diet, hobbies, etc.
I still remember when I was a lurker and saw Roguey explaining why he was growing a beard.

If it made him uncomfortable, he wouldn't divulge all these things about his life.

True, but the speculation can still be weird.
