Warner Bros. is also canceling the Wonder Woman game.

This is maybe the biggest bloodbath we’ve seen in this industry? What a damn shame.

      You pay someone to do X with a contract; they

      • take your money
      • not do X
      • instead show the idea of X, which is yours, as THEIR product, which doesn’t even work
        • voliating non-disclosure agreements in your contract
        • doing untold damage to your business plans

      Yeah, I don’t know about anything else, but fuck Matt with a cactus.

        Stories like these sound wild to most people but sadly they happen all the time. It‘s literally how Google got this big. Still makes me mad how they robbed and trolled Terravision out of their code now known as Google Earth. Not like it‘s a flagship for Google or money maker but they still literally stole the code via hard drive like they stole from so many others. The tech world is full of absolute asshats leeching off of the most talented. It‘s very evident in today‘s tech culture full of crypto, AI and whatnot.

          I’ll tell you a secret. And this is coming from somebody that was at the top-top Top of the gaming world for 2 decades… 95% of tech people are complete frauds and charlatans. Its a miracle anything ever gets made. Look at today’s coders… they don’t even know what a computer does, they just download other people’s modules, cobble them together and pray. The vast majority of people who self-identify as being in “comp sci” don’t even understand the very basics.
