Haha Netflix games. If you thought your titles were unfinished garbage before, just wait.

It's like watching human centipede: executive decision. They just keep eating each other's shit.

Big sack of cash and a good mark on her CV. And Obsidian has been kind of a clusterfuck the past few years with Avowed having been more or less restarted from scratch like three times?

Netflix games is a sinking ship but so is... a lot of the games industry. Whereas working as a creative at Netflix is potentially a way to pivot out and away from games entirely. Carrie is also a writer (I think self published?) so that is a further way to seem like someone who can transition to a different department.

Happens all the time. Netflix is moneyhatting, promises someone who knows how to do the job a great salary to do it for them instead.

If he's¹ on the case like properly I'll be a happy camper. There's been a couple of actually enjoyable mobile games from netflix.

He? You mean she, Carrey Patel?

[–] Yermaw@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I meant they because it wasn't specified in the headline, but you can't win them all.

You can, if you don't know their gender, instead of assuming one way or the other - that's what them/they/their/they're are for.

I corrected my mistake and am still getting told about it. The most innocuous of mistakes in one of the lowest stakes locations and topics available.

If you made an edit I guess it doesn't update for other servers - viewing these comments from a lemm.ee account in Voyager and it's still the original..
