Press RESET. How the gaming industry crushes careers and gives a second chance

Press RESET. How the gaming industry crushes careers and gives a second chance

Just yesterday, you were working on an amazing game that the entire team believed in. And today you're packing your things from the office and find yourself unemployed. What happened? The answer from Bloomberg News game reviewer and author of this... book Jason Schreier is disturbingly simple – in the modern game development industry, there is no place for fairy tales. Every year, dozens of game studios close around the world, developers lose their jobs, and hundreds of games will never see the light of day. And this is not just about amateur projects from enthusiasts, but about brilliant teams that brought us BioShock Infinite, Epic Mickey, Dead Space, and other hits. The modern gaming industry is ruthless even to the greatest talents; it is a world where there are no guarantees. "Press Reset" is an investigation based on unique interviews. You will find yourself at the very epicenter of events and learn what the last hours of Irrational Games, 2K Marin, Visceral, and other studios were like, as well as how the fates of those who experienced this firsthand unfolded.
