Reasons to get into game development: Fun work environment: Working with other talented people who are also passionate about games, lax dress codes, fast paced Relatively fast iteration times: You see the result of what you're working on quickly Exposure to Multiple Disciplines: Where else will you see such a cross road of artistic and technical expertise Pride of finished product: When things go well and final product is well received the pride is great Fanfare: Like any other entertainment industry, knowing you entertained potentially hundreds to millions is a good feeling Creative Control: Mostly when indie, you get to make something you like Reasons to stay away from game development: Crunch: Lot's of unpaid OT Relatively lower than average pay: For equivalent positions requiring same level of experience in other fields, salary is 10-15% lower in gaming Solid coding practices often go out the window when the clock is against you: If you are a dead set on avoiding "Hacks" this isn't the industry for you Questionable Job security: Ramp ups will swell teams to gigantic sizes only to have people be massively laid off after the hardest part or production Poisonous community: Gamers are a demanding market that will quickly turn poisonous when displeased Creative Control: In AAA development, you are a cog in the big machine and ultimately don't call the shots Ultimately to answer your question OP, you are part of one of the first generations to have grown up with video games in their lives. Why not turn a lifelong passion into a career, as the saying goes, "Do what you love and you'll never work a day of your life".

Yeah, it's an Intel SoC so it definitely is not using the rival Qualcomm quick charging.

Thanks, I wasn't sure if it was better to link the red cross page directly or the reddit post that I saw got it from.

You sound like those stupid Apple ads:

The rank system takes into account your score in the game. Even if you win 100+ games in a row, if you were carried the entire time you don't rank up.

Judging from the look of AC Rogue, it looks like its running on the same version of Anvil that AC4: Black Flag ran on instead of the one Unity ran on. So whatever the performance of Black Flag on PC should be a good indicator of AC Rogue's performance.

Rogue is an already released game on Last Gen Consoles. This will be a PC port.

Sure but then you'd get the same complaints that GTA V is getting.

Like I said, your opinion is fine and warranted. Yes things need to improve to earn a customer's dollar. But none of this is worth hoping for the "burning of buildings". Were talking about fucking video games for fucks sake. And no you shouldn't be forgiven for being "extreme" its this kind of extremism that makes it hard to take a lot of the PC community feedback seriously. All it makes us look like is whiny self-entitled brats who didn't get their way. The way to really send a message would be not to buy product of a company. Even pirating doesn't help as you basically play into their perception of the platform and announce that you like their game but you'd rather steal than make a real stand. It looks like you've already committed that idea, which is good, but again hoping for harm on people over fucking video games is immature.

Outstanding show of maturity. I'm glad I can count on the likes of you to show companies that they should treat my gaming platform of choice better.

Your opinion is fine. What you want to happen isn't. I don't like republicans, but I wouldn't want their homes or places of work to burn down. That's just plain stupid.

Most of the games that aren't great at launch are cross platform. Those that are launched simultaneously (unlike GTA V) all have their patches done at the same time for all platforms (unless its a platform specific problem of course). Rarely is a patch pushed out to PC users only if its not to fix PC only issues.

Should all the Ubisoft buildings still all burn to the ground?
