Sacred Symbols, Episode 348 | Warning Brothers
Added 2025-02-28 17:00:19 +0000 UTC
In 2022, approximately 8,500 people lost their jobs in the games industry. In 2023, that number rose to 10,500, and just last year it ballooned to an unfathomable 14,600. Will it be worse this year? That's currently unknowable, but one thing's certain: Industry playing and spending habits are radically changing, and the newest victim of the environment (and loads of really bad choices along the way) is Warner Bros. Games, which shut down three studios (including the vaunted team Monolith Productions, cancelling its Wonder Woman project in the process) while declaring it's all-in on very specific IP, but nothing more. Is WB Games' meltdown a cautionary tale? Or is it a simple example of more-of-the-same? With seven out of 10 PlayStation 5 players playing at least one of the 10 most popular games on the platform -- and with an astonishing 40% of playtime on PS4 and PS5 spent with those 10 games, and those 10 games alone -- we are nearing an inflection point. There are too many people making too many games alongside too little interest in much of what's being released, and frankly, the bloodletting is nowhere near finished. We discuss. Plus: PSVR2 gets a major price cut, THPS 3+4 Remastered leaks via ratings, Black Myth: Wukong sells huge on PlayStation 5, Sony-published Midnight Murder Club gets a release date, and more. Then: Inquiries from our beloved listeners. How hyped are we for Death Stranding 2? What do we make of the rumors of a God of War-related announcement slated for March? Could we define the term "Eurojank"? Will Chris ever get another haircut again in his entire life?

In Australia the standard edition of KCD2 is $114.95 on the PSN store. In stores I've seen it at $89. Sony absolutely deserves a lawsuit.

Yeah I'm pretty sure you said you were a Canadian Marine who fought in the war that should never have happened.. so I should lay off. It really isn't Canadians fault. I understand that you guys fought alongside us in a war that should not have happened. TBH we should have the same enemy, the busted Euro/American Bureaucracies and complete corporate takeover of the world since the 60's and 70's. And you are probably right on the cost of jobs. As they already put in a 1-month exemption for Automakers today. I hate the fact that our companies and country sold us out and now it makes it feel like we are at odds with allies when trying to figure out how to take something back. I also just looked at the cost of apartments in Windsor Ontario where there is a Stellantis plant is and it's like 2k a month for a 1-2 bedroom. You guys are being raped over there too I see. Good luck to you guys it's about to get really rough for everybody.

Are you layed off? What % of jobs in game dev are coding when using an already built major engine like Unreal? If you guys are getting blanketed lay off because your Art Designers and writers and directors are all completely incompetent, you guys need to be speaking up creating your own studios 100%. I never once said it was an easy job either. Management just hired a shit ton of cancer that now unfortunately needs full on chemo to cure.
Seth
2025-03-05 21:51:56 +0000 UTC
I don't know what data you're looking at, but you're wrong.
And you're probably looking at the grow in starting wage.
Its different contracts, depending on your hite date.
I can tell you 100% I'm right because I literally work at the plant.
Here's an easy way to look this up.
Go to the UAW and Unifor website and look at the pay they just got in the last contracts.
Its public.
Maybe know what you're talking about before jumping into a conversation.
We always negotiate cheaper here.
That's why we have a job.

No one who knows how to code signs up for game dev as it is an "easy" job. That just doesn't make sense. Me included, I didn't go with game dev as I could make more at a much easier job and my job would be infinitely more stable. Just saying your logic does not make sense

Wouldn’t the criticism and backlash come after the reviews? Like I said I haven’t played it but just curious.

2025-03-05 10:36:41 +0000 UTC
The real content of the game wasn't even close to 82, and most of us know it. Review outlets felt the need to protect and defend the game due to all the criticism and backlash
Bailey Callis
2025-03-05 10:00:59 +0000 UTC
Haven’t played Dragon Age VG yet but did it really bomb critically? I know it did commercially but 82 on metacritic is solid. One of the game of the year candidates last year was an 81.

I disagree with Chris about Dragon age.
Inquisition sold over 10 million copies, Origins was the best selling Bioware game ever when it released, and people had a real hunger for fantasy rpgs after bg3. The Dragon age universe is very interesting and has great potential, Veilguard failed because it was horrible, and everyone knew it.

6 minutes in they speak about Indiana Jones, based on on the swift subject of aging fictional characters. Derived from Dustin seeing the new Shrek trailer. My point is, I recently rewashed Indiana Jones Crystal Scull When that movie first came out, I felt Harrison was so old. Watching it today he's absolutely not. However watching the newest film Dial of Destiny he's borderline decrepit. It's not right.

It’s perfectly fair to compare 3rd person action games to the best one in the genre. You’ll say they’re different but that’s only because there’s an incentive to pretend that any difference however small makes a game in a completely different genre, rendering the comparison non-sensical in the minds of those who want to defend other games. Elden Ring evolved the genre. It’s not in a different one.
Jimmer
2025-03-03 19:42:47 +0000 UTC
We need to stop pretending these would be new games. They would be games we’ve played a million times but with a WW or BP skin. Until games fans realize this, they’re going to keep being blown away that no one cares about these kinds of games anymore.

The effects of the war have been felt in America tho and in Europe with the cost of living crisis, leaving this to go unchecked for longer would effect Americans even more. Ukraine is one of the world's biggest exporters of crops. I can understand Americans not wanting to be involved with a war half way across the world given Vietnam and the Middle East.

First off, it's closer to 100 billion from the US not the 350 trump has made up. It's a lot of money don't get me wrong. That's not totally true that Ukraine never had a chance, Russia has 20% of Ukrainian land in 3 years, not the 3 days that Putin originally said. I don't understand this mindset, I thought America was about freedom and democracy, helping defending a country that's being invaded is standing up for democracy. I know the Trump administration doesn't care about democracy (jan 6th, saying the election they lost was rigged). The sooner this war is over the better, but telling the invaded country to just give up is madness, if Britain has done that when they were in a seriously bad position during the second world war, the Nazis would have won.

I second this. I cancelled before the lead up to the Feb deadline. I was highly conflicted especially given the political leanings and what I had heard Colin say on some previous podcasts in support of tariffs and Trump’s antics.
His shout out on this episode to Canada l and clarification on his opinions has made me feel better about my resubscribing and continuing to support. LSM really does provide some of the best podcast content in gaming so it would suck to disengage from it.

As someone who was born and raised in Ohio. The boys are right. Ohio sucks. Everything about it. Let’s stop pretending Cleveland is a city people care about when we have Detroit and Pittsburgh 2-3 hours away. Cleveland sucks so bad LeBron left us twice. Our claim to fame is setting a river on fire and creating the EPA. The only two good things to come from Ohio are the macho man Randy savage and the Browns Daddy Ben Roethlisberger.

I'll pipe up as an mtg fan that the general consensus in the community is distaste for the ceaseless crossovers. Not only is it making the game feel corny (more so that mtg already is) it's also eroding the identity of the game. Magics rule set is super comprehensive and there is so much design space but it's all getting eaten up by things that don't gel with my perception of the game. The casual draw of the crossovers has been incredible for wotc earning them record profits all while the quality of the cards decline (like the physical actual cardboard is flimsy and poor). The new players tend to not engage as deeply as already enfrachised players and so don't really care about the game becoming something different to the game we loved and grew up with. It's all just really depressing.

The only reason things are even half affordable is because they are made in Canada and Mexico.
The dollar isn't worth as much here.
Ex.
If you work for Stellantis in Detroit.
You make $36 an hour.
Canada $43.
$36 US is $52 Canadian.
We are way cheaper, and that dosnt include huge health care packages the companies have to pay for on the American side.
They don't have to do that here cause our health care is provided by the government.
Auto parts supplier margins are only 12%
And its only that way cause the currency of the countries they work in our cheaper.
Speaking on tje protections.
The 80% wage when on unemployment is already paid for.
60% of that is unemployment from the government.
The other 20% is from credits that are already paid for in a float.
Them pulling out of the country dosnt effect that, only pensions.
And maximum unemployment is Michigan is 20 weeks.
Canada it's 52 weeks.
I'm sorry to say your country has horrible worker protections.
Considering they just got rid of consumer financial agencies and gutted the department of labor, this current administration isn't interested in helping the working people this will affect.

Are you positive about this? What happens if the American Company just pulls out of Canada altogether? How would the Canadian Auto Union workers even claim money? The workers wouldn't be laid off, there would simply be no company to work for. You can't require a company that doesn't exist pay 80% of wages to employees it has 0 responsibility for. Also, yes we do have those same protections or at least similar (not sure of timeframes) within our Auto Unions as well. We should not be building much of anything in Canada or Mexico when we have dwindling Jobs here and our Manufacturing towns are blown out hellscapes now because we were sold out by our previous administrations for the last 50 years. Do you guys have Large blown out (Previously booming) cities with average household incomes below 35k like Detroit, Rockford, or Gary? (You don't) Then on top of that we pay huge amounts of tax dollars to pay to protect the entire west from being taken over by China and Russia and meanwhile your gov can spend it on silencing free speech and push shit cultural ideologies all over the world. I like Canadians but our administration is the first one in many decades to even mention how unfair the relationship is. Sorry if this seems aggressive, but my hometown is a blown out, sold off manufacturing town with 70k people and median household income around 30k. It's literal hell there is nothing like that in all of Canada from what I can find.

It is tho. When his country was invaded by an aggressor he stepped up. All Trump does is lie and shout, he tells about 10% of truth in there and some people seem to believe all the lies that go with it. I will give Trump props for not being Vance, that guy tried to tell Zelensky to his face that he understood the war better because he'd "seen the news", laughable.

lol at Chris not liking black myth wukong because he felt more nimble in elden ring. Here we go again using elden ring to critique games that are not even trying to do what that game did.
Like I get that Dustin and Chris love Elden ring but the criticism of “ oh well in Elden ring this , and in Elden ring that” is getting VERY stale and annoying from both of them.
Like by no means is Elden ring a bad game but get off its dick already Dustin and Chris.
You guys don’t have to compare everything to Elden ring when you critique games.

I disagree that it’s not good enough to be worth the effort, the problem is that the entire game has to be based around it.

Wow, nothing on that scammy shovelware company, huh? Gotta assume it’s not quite meeting Colin’s journalistic standards yet, because I found it fascinating as hell.

Because it's not patentable. It's just rage bait for people who refuse to do research. The system itself isn't patented, but the specific way it's implemented is. Anyone can do it. Racing games have been doing it for years. Its just not a good enough system to be worth the effort.

I like how Colin talks about what the future of the show would look like and if the boys would leave before him and then he’s the one that leaves in the episode. 😅

To Dustin's question regarding pricing of new games on launch day: I'm in Ireland, and I can currently order Monster Hunter Wilds off Amazon for €67, or in my local toy/games store for €65.
It's €80 on PSN

Just a little tidbit for Tariffs between Canada and the US.
Specifically focused on auto.
If the tariffs go into place the entire North American auto industry will go down in just 1 week.
Canadian auto employees from the unionized plants have a 1 year safety net.
They make 80% of their wage if they are laid off for up to 1 year.
The auto companies aren't going to move, it's just way cheaper to make them in Canada and parts in Mexico.
American auto employees do not have these same protections.
It will be devastating to the US auto worker employees.
As a Canadian, who did two tours in Afghanistan, I love our neighbors.
It ain't the people I got a problem with, it's your current administration.

It’s very possible they are but you want to make sure that you are taking the proper dose so you don’t end up taking too much or too little. Normal doses go anywhere between 1000 and 50,000 units.

The Nemesis System is essentially the core of the Mordor games, for example there’s an in game hierarchy of orcs right? Specific orcs grow stronger after killing you and will also adapt to your strategies, they’ll also replace other orcs on the hierarchy as they grow in strength. It has been awhile since i’ve played but it’s very different from just repeating boss encounters

Also. There's SO much they could do with middle earth, but thankfully, the Tolkien estate still keeps a pretty tight hold on things. But even so, even if studios only had access to the 3 books and the appendices, a lot could be done. But that requires effort

Sooooo Tolkien did actually write that orcs would reproduce the same way the elves did in the Silmarillion. However.
Not once was the depiction of an orc family put to paper by him

It's pretty obvious that mass layoffs in the gaming industry are necessary. Look at how long and how large these budgets are and how mediocre the games are. Mass Effect 1 2 and 3 all released within 5 years. Those games are all amazing, then they literally mass hired the new generation of activist college grads and 1 game took 5 years and was significantly worse than any of the previous titles. Then they kept hiring more and more of them and now it's been 8 years without so much as a screenshot of the game. The entire industry needs to cleanse out those college activist types they all mass hired and go back to smaller teams of passionate artistic nerds making games. Fingers crossed for 28k this year. Fuck em.

The fiberglass is in the filter. If you cut the filter on an angle, heat it, and press down on it with something hard you can make a little knife out of it. Something I always kept in the back of my mind in case i went to prison

Dustin, or anyone - don’t just take vitamin d. Go get your levels taken first. You can take too much vitamin d as it’s a fat soluble vitamin. It can and will build up in your system potentially causing other issues.
