  You’re mixing gaming studio company and the developers working for that company.

    No, that’s a development studio, the terms mean the same thing. If you want to be technical it would be a game development studio.

    You literally said the “devs” working for them, that’s still a dev company…

      I’m software developer for years and I’ve never done any business decision ever. I just do what my managers says.

      I don’t think this reality changes for game development. You’re using “developers” for game dev company, which is still a company with managers.

        So real people devs are not responsible for anything.

        And I never said that now did I? The developers did decide to shut it down, I’m sorry words have multiple meanings, why would you assume I meant the specific employee, instead of the company like my comments specify? Thats on you.

      Yea thats not how things work. A developer company doesn’t have only developers. The good ones will have managers and such that may have been developers in the past or have a good working knowledge of whats going on, but its not the developers making the overall decisions.

        . A developer company doesn’t have only developers.

        Did I say otherwise…?

        The good ones will have managers

        Of course, why are you assuming I don’t know this?

        and such that may have been developers in the past or have a good working knowledge of whats going on, but its not the developers making the overall decisions.

        Huh, it’s almost like I’m talking about a company instead of employees…. Where did I specify employees? Because it’s quite obvious I am talking about the development company here……

  Not everyone in a game studio is a developer

    Nope, but it’s still a game development studio that makes the games.

    You intentionally leaving out a term to describe the company doesn’t suddenly make you right.
