I am not in the gaming industry, just normal software dev. And I don't know much about how it works in the gaming industry.
But let's say I have a company A which is interested in a contract from B. I pitch the stuff and get the project. And afterwards I am like: "I have no idea how to do any of this, can I talk to the people who did this before?".
That is so braindead mismanagement I am unable to comprehend this. Maybe for some weird reason this is normal in gaming but they should have clarified that before.
And then I go like "Hey, we will be doing the stuff you wanted and much more, like multiplayer. We don't even want more money".
And after all of that stuff hits the fan I am like "booo, they didn't help us and didn't give us more money". How on earth does that work? Is gaming industry some magical place with other rules?
