I remember saying years and years ago that Greenlight was a horrible idea in general and that Valve needs to have a fully staffed team conducting quality control if they wanna go through with anything like that and the only response anyone could come back with was along the lines of “STFU more games = betterer” and, well, LOL

I'm not seeing the problem

Yep that was the point of it.

As that interview points out, Ellison was heavily involved in the writing side of it though not much else and had to approve of everything that went in.

Though the interview says he didn't object to much, Ellison seems like he was the type who would have spoken up if he didn't like any of the ideas presented to him.

Thanks for linking that btw. It changes my impression of the man a bit.

He was a notorious curmudgeon so whatever made it into the game had his blessing pretty much. God speed, Ellison, wherever you are...

What exactly is the appeal of laughing at badly-made porn games in this thread now that they are both allowed by the platform and common enough to no longer be unusual in and of themselves? The site itself allows it and most of the stuff you post is bad and weird on purpose and trying to be funny so there isn't even like some meta level to look down at it from. Posting a screenshot of of a sexualized anime game on a site that openly sells sexualized anime games and going "holy poo poo lmao this game has sexualized animes in it LOL" is just one layer of plausibile deniability away from :nws:https://local.theonion.com/ironic-porn-purchase-leads-to-unironic-ejaculation-1819565403:nws:

They even leaned into it, I remember an ad for a DOA game where one of the testimonials was just "She kicks high." I don't think anyone buys them for the fighting.

By the way, Tekken also has a dinosaur. And two bears (Although I think one's just a palette swap of the other). And all I know of Killer Instinct is one character is just Literally A Skeleton.

That was the ad for DOA 3 and it was most likely something pushed by Microsoft's ad department since it was exclusive at the time.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Jfzh2s3jlE

The games at one point were kinda technical and the counter button led to some exciting matches. Not to mention that it they looked great at the time. The first DOA was 60fps on the Playstation 1 even. DOA 2 on the Dreamcast(!) was a technical marvel at the time.

Valve uses a performance review system where everyone in the company is ranked from "most productive" to "least productive" every year. The top 20% get bonuses, the middle 60% are told to be grateful for their job and try harder, and the bottom 20% get fired.

It produces a vicious backbiting environment where people constantly play politics and sabotage each other. For devs, if you want to buy that bigger house, your best option for a raise isn't to make good code and compete with Epic Game Store or Origin or w/e -- it's to throw one of your coworkers under the bus so that you're more likely to end up in the top 20%. For managers, it means intentionally hiring people that are incompetent so that you can intentionally throw them in the bottom 20% at the end of the year, filling up the garbage hopper so that your actual team members don't end up in the bottom 20%. Teams fight with each other, hide info from each other, even sabotage each other to make sure they survive.

Ballmer instituted it at Microsoft in the 2000s when he became CEO, because Jack Welsh had done it at GM and he worshipped Welsh. It turns out that management styles for industrial production lines don't work out well for creative industries, and Microsoft both lost a ton of talent and ruined their own products due to internal infighting. In the end, it was the main cause of Microsoft's "Lost Decade" and drat near killed the company; they got rid of it in 2013 when Ballmer retired. Valve still uses it, probably because it's what Gabe was familiar with when he left Microsoft to found Valve.

:wtf: in what world does pitting your team against itself a good idea? Didnt SEARS do something similar?

Edit: or fostering an environment that would cause that to happen. Sounds like Valve would implode if not for the storefront.
