Pros
* Fantastic games * Great people * Genuinely feel like corporate care about wellbeing as far as not having to lay them off * Good flexibility in developing oneself * Very good 'stop-gap' for industry pros looking to find somewhere else * I am sympathetic to how difficult the job of the CEO and top levels are given the industry culture
Cons
* Iots of last minute corporate meddling * Beholden to blowing our best announcement in terrible investor calls for minimal impact. We have the avatar IP and we throw it into the wind with 8+ other games? That's a top level beat? That deserves a first party direct if not bigger! And we just...spoke it into existence. * Half a dozen internal programs that we have to use and stop using 6 months later for something else. * Terrible communication * Work PC is invasively tracked
