Monday, April 15, 2013  You Are Not As Good As You Think You Are
Don't like the way a publisher treats you?     AKA: This is
business.            AccidentalGenius said...  I think expecting
a developer to be savvy enough and/or have the financing enough
to HIRE someone savvy enough to negotiate favorable terms is a
bit much to ask. At least for smaller dev teams.  Taking the
'you get what you deserve' approach doesn't really address the
issue. It shouldn't be one of playing defense against 'big bad
publishers.' It should be one of both sides trying to create a
win/win relationship.  Utopian? Probably. But living by a
'business is business' worldview automatically creates and feeds
a hostile working arrangement built on distrust. It perpetuates
a bottom standard that never raises.  If both sides actually
aimed higher (to treat each other fairly), then there would be
as much of these 'poor arrangements.'  AccidentalGenius said...
Sorry... there would NOT be as much of these poor arrangements.
