Well, the game I've been working on for a year and a half got shut down along with our development studio. Today is not the best of days.

Sorry to hear that. You'll land on your feet somewhere else.

Sucks to hear about visceral man.

Dammit, I just caught wind of Visceral. I'm sorry, @DrFeelgood . Fingers are crossed that you can be absorbed!

Sorry to hear about that, hope you bounce back quickly.

Thanks guys. They're trying to place us elsewhere within the company but the more I think about it the more I feel like it's time to get out of California. It's too expensive to live here and I don't want to rent for the rest of my life.

Come to Vegas? You get NHL hockey.

At higher prices than in San Jose.

At higher prices than in San Jose.

The hockey, yes. But the housing way less.

This is true. Also, I really enjoy the food scene here a lot more, with some exceptions (such as Vietnamese cuisine).

Why can't we have a good NHL video game? I know that EA has the exclusive rights to the games, so they really don't have to improve it since they're the only ones that can make a game...

Every other game (Madden, NBA 2K and MLB the Show) is so much better than the EA NHL franchise. I have all four, and I enjoy the NHL game the least by far.

I tried but wasn't able to get into the EA NHL game. I would kill for a NHL game with oldschool controls, I'm not into the inaccessible simulation stuff.

Because EA cares more about gouging their customers with microtransactions and DLC than actually producing quality games.

The other sports games do it too, though. Madden (yes, I know that's an EA game too) has the Ultimate Team as well. MLB The Show has coins that you could purchase. And NBA 2K has VC that you can buy. Microtranscations are ruining video games, but the companies are laughing their way to the bank.

Yeah, NBA 2K18 in particular has received a ton of backlash over their out of control in game purchase system. Some people have gone as far as comparing it to gambling. Personally I don't have much of a problem with microtransactions as long as they're used in moderation and the cost of the base game is lowered in return. Paying $60 for what turns out to be less than half a game isn't a healthy business model.

There's a reason why EA has been voted worst company

Please no. EASHL and the skill-stick are the only good things they've done. And those were back in 09.
I guess taking out the grinding and dumb boosts last year were good too.
