I sometimes wonder if "developers" of these kind of games actually made their game with a proper ending or just stops half way through because they think no one would be bothered to play the game for long
Warner Bros can make good games but they've also the habit of fucking up their games completely with the worst monetary bullshit you can think of. Fuck them.
Hey man it pays the bills.
Which is true but if you're someone who cares about their work and spent their time learning how to make games, you would definitely be downtrodden to have to use your skills that you worked so hard to develop to work on a mobile game that office workers will play on their breaks.
I think the problem is if you go into game development you're going to have to spend a good few years working in garbage mobile development because that's basically the entry level unless you take a chance and make some indie game you self release.
Spend a few years working on suicide watch making mobile crap and hope you land a job at a big studio when you've built up a portfolio.
Well would you rather get known to the public and publishers as "that one company that made shitty mobile game" or "that indie devs with a really neat game"?
I know you have to do something to get some money to get going but you wouldnt be getting money if that first mobile game is a blatant cash grab crap
Welcome to working in the fucking industry.
You're going to be forced to work on things you'll probably not like...
This just fucking sad.

Man that looks so sad its hilarious, the amount of fun I had in the pc version of Harry Potter 2 and 3 is literally all coming back in my brain.
Working for a company that wants to make this kind of game? They're probably going to shortchange you as much as possible while making you work twice as hard as every other company.
Idk, there's a difference between being forced to work on things you don't like, and being forced to work on literal scam products whose only purpose is to suck as much money out of whales as possible before they get frustrated and drop it. Don't pretend that shit like this is representative of the games industry as a whole.
This can preyed on me hard with my terrible habit of spending money

Nah, I'm just fucking with ya. I didn't actually spend money to get that shit.

Getting out of AAA was the best decisions I ever made for my mental health.
I made a series of retro reviewy style videos on the Harry Potter games a couple years back (actually I think I finished the 7th one less than year ago but whatever) they can be a bit cringey but I had a good time making them. They taught me that I am actually into this whole talking about games on the internet scene and want to work out where to go from here, 2 years running and I still haven't found a voice that works for me but I hope I'll get there one day.
Anyway point being:
Those videos got a spike in views and comments over the past few days since that shitty mobile game has released. I guess it's making people reminisce about real Harry Potter games they actually have good memories of. It'd be pretty amazing if whoever owns this IP these days went back and tried their hand at making one of those old Zelda style games again. We all know that's never going to happen but it sure would be nice.
Game developers forced to work with a "client" make games like these.
There's no room for actual game design and the "suits" have to sign off on every decision made. Creating this pile of garbage.
Even then working on an actual game can probably suck due to shitty employees, managers, etc.
tbh if i had to work on some shitty game like this but still get a decent/good paycheck and enough freetime to do my own work. thats fine by me.
JK doesn't give a shit.
It's not even trying to be a real game. It's just a facade meant to lure in kids with daddy's credit card. Fucking shameful.
JK stop giving a shit when the Cursed Child came out
Some of Jim's silly titles really get me giggling, like this one and "Shitty 17"
