Inside: real stories of developers Irrational Games, 2k Marin, Visceral and other studios, whose fall became for employees shock.
You are a game developer, and your dream is to make games that millions of gamers will play. But the real world is not a fairy tale. The studios are closed, the projects made with love are sent to the garbage tank, and people are left without work.
- Jason Schreyer will again look behind the scenes of the video game industry to tell how the most famous studios of the last decade fell apart.
- You will find out why the success of Bioshock Infinite, Epic Mickey or Dead Space did not help their creators keep afloat.
- You will find a unique investigation of the reasons for the collapse of the industry and the search for answers to the question whether it deserves a second chance.
"In the first book, Schreyer convincingly talks that the release of each game is a real miracle. After reading the second, it is already a miracle that it seems that many talented people with burning eyes still work in this industry - it can sometimes be so merciless and depressive. " - Vadim Elistratov, editor -in -chief DTF
"Game industry in recent years has reached unprecedented heights. In the heat of enthusiasm, it is easy to forget (or not to remember) about the reverse side of the game business: failures, processing, mass dismissals, bankruptcy. "Click Reset" colorfully and in detail reminds of what to make games is even a dream work, but still work, extremely hard and often ungrateful. - Anton Gorodetsky, head of the media project about video games Player One (My.gakes)
