Dyskusje o polskiej branży gier

Sprawa jest typowo polska, więc wyjątkowo napiszę po polsku. Jakiś czas temu pojawił się artykuł "Wielka bitwa o programistów: firmom z branży gier komputerowych brakuje rąk do pracy" na gazetaprawna.pl, streszczony potem jako Dziennik Gazeta Prawna: "firmom z branży gier brakuje rąk do pracy" na polygamia.pl. Ten artykuł - i nie tylko on - sprowokował w Internecie ciekawe dyskusje mniej lub bardziej anonimowych osobników obeznanych z realiami branży w Polsce. Można je przeczytać (niektóre dopiero po odpowiednim zalogowaniu):

Anomaly: Warzone Earth - a game from 11 bit studios

I had a wonderful time working for Metropolis Software, but the studio was closed so we didn't finish our FPS shooter - They. But then our bosses and some of the employees formed new company - 11 bit studios, developed new technology and today is the release date of their new game: Anomaly: Warzone Earth. It's kind of "inversed tower defence", where you lead a squad through the streets of cities and fight with towers. I've done some outsource programming for this project and also tested it. The game is available on Steam for PC and Mac platforms.

Overtime Concern in Game Industry

For those who are not up-to-date with news from the industry: There is lots of stuff posted and commented recently about the the concern of overtime work at Rockstar San Diego. I won't comment it as I don't like controversies, I'll just show interesting links:

Wives of Rockstar San Diego employees have collected themselves (2010-01-07) - an open letter by "Determined Devoted Wives of Rockstar San Diego employees" complaining about work conditions (especially overtime work aka Crunch Time) in the studio. (You probably need to be registered at Gamasutra.com to view the article.)
IGDA: Regarding Overtime Concerns at Rockstar San Diego (2010-01-13) - official IGDA (International Game Developers Association) standpoint in this matter.
ea_spouse - a blog of Electronic Arts employee's spouse who wrote similar letter in 2004 (entitled "EA: The Human Story") and is now an activist popularizing quality of life concerns in the game industry.
