[homestuck/hiveswap/replurk] What Pumpkin just... dumped receipts on the game development

it is A Lot

that sure is a thing. I honestly haven't even tried to play the parts that have been released already because all the delays really tanked my interest (maybe when the final part is done, so I can go through everything at once)

YEAH

they woke up today and chose chaos

they saw sarahz's homestuck video essay and rolled up their sleeves and went WELP

rumors already abounded, may as well set things straight

damn, they really dropped em

i don't even GO here, but this is ... something

on the one hand i'm glad that this majorly clears things up

on the other hand i fucking HATE that disclosing this was necessary

at this point, I believe we needed it to

there's been rumors and discussion circulating for YEARS. and it would only continue unless someone cleared up matters.

i read this and feel like i somehow know less than i did before

holy shit i don't even go here but they really just

:| I still feel uncomfortable with the feeling overall. I understand the legal obligation to save face but that final statement "This policy also served to protect individuals from personal or professional harm, including those who were responsible for serious setbacks with the project."

I feel that if someone messes up enough to downsize an entire project that professional repercussion is something that inevitably happens

its the main reason jobs look up references to to workers histories, to gage their ability in the professional field that they're taking part in

thats not saying to out them entirely because no one deserves that sort or repercussion or fallback. but that sort of thing should still be taken note of in future industry related matters

Yeah, but its also something you don't know to look for in a contract clause until you are a part of something like this

such an unfortunate state of contract. a sad mistake

also i'm still disappointed by GC's overall lack of professionalism and the fact that they face so little flack from it

I'm very mad about The Odd Gentlemen (which I assume is the Contracted Game Company they ae talking about)

it lines up with hussie announcing in 2014 that they were cutting ties
