Comment on Stop Killing Games is a new campaign to stop developers making games unplayable

No, the dev should have revenue coming in, revenue that pays salaries that allows them to survive. If those salaries aren’t put towards efforts that will bring in more revenue then the revenue will stop and the business will no longer be sustainable.

And if the studio doesn’t profit and have a slush fund they won’t be able to spend a little money to protect their game with their own funds… don’t spend every cent, and you would be able to use some for this good will everyone expects.

Just to make sure I’m on the same page with you when trying to understand what you’re saying, when you use the words ‘dev’ or ‘developers’, do you mean the computer programmers who write the games, or their business managers (all of which work at the same development studio)?
Who do you believe is responsible for the decision to add to the game the ‘always connected to the Internet’ functionality, as well as to discontinue the game servers, the computer programmers, or the business managers?
Please answer without using the word ‘dev’ or ‘developers’ in your answer. Thanks.

Just to make sure, you are asking me to specify if my comments specifically talking about development studios are about development studios…?

Please don’t be invasive, I’m being honest with you in my inquiry.
I’m asking you to define a subset of people inside of a development Studio. Can you do that for me?
Are you speaking of the computer programmers /coders, or the managers, inside of the development studio, when you use the words ‘dev’ and or ‘developers’?
