    Live Service kills DLC and people are surprised players are getting fed up of that? We used to have expansions but they got so small you could only call them dlc. We deserve better, players propelled Video Games into becoming the biggest money making entertainment industry in the world, move over Hollywood.

    That's my rant over and out. :)

    Players are also to "blame" seeing they made the online version such a popular cash cow the business case for other non-GAAS content couldn't be made.

    We have met the enemy, and they are us.

    Sorry but a camera artist is not a "creative dev". Developers write code, period. That's what is on the job description. Unless there's some coding involved in the camera work then they aren't a developer. You don't watch the credits at the end of a movie and see a bunch of "creative dev" credits for the camera crew.

    Interesting seems like they know their priorities.

    Yes GTA online was a hit but not for the right reasons.

    I'd like you to find one definition that supports this. There are a lot of developer jobs in the world that do not involve being a software developer. I've said developer in my head too many times and its gone weird.
