this visual novel (some gay furry thing) was revealed, one of the characters piqued the interests of /v/ anons, some of them made a "fan game" called snoot game for free and released it before the "real" one came out.

Snoot Gamr is fricking based I don't care how gay that sounds. The plot is mature and good story telling for younger people on the responsibility of having positive friendships and relationships and self motivation.

Non writers like you really don't get it.
If you were in charge of writing I bet you would just have every character start start swearing carelessly, in an attempt to create "realistic" dialogues.

I think that the easiest answer to this is probably just that the indian outsourcing problem exists in the game industry too, and since indians can't actually read or write in english at a middle school level, well... suddenly Sweet Baby Inc becomes a whole lot more attractive than letting an H1B work at it. It's the same reason why whitelist and blacklist were changed, it wasn't to be woke, it was because indians don't have the background knowledge to infer the meaning of each. (Source? Everyone who thinks 'allowlist' is a more descriptive term on stackoverflow or Hackernews strangely seems to originate from the subcontinent of India...)

It's not even a matter of them being cheap. The issue is that westerners have an inherent bias in favor of their fellow westerners. They see their own kind and assume they must be good at their job. In reality, this is very often not the case.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
I'm pretty sure the people deciding whether or not to involve the Baby aren't the people dragging and dropping shit onto an open unity engine window. Since usually it's larger companies involving them, or rambunctious indies riding the high from a previous success, restructuring and later choosing to contract out their writing to the Baby of Doom.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
I don't honestly know how it is now, but a few years ago there were a shitload of indians trying to come over on H1B visas to work as game devs. I am actually fairly certain that one of the big game companies actively took a few under their wing to try to get more through (not sure which one). I imagine that that has had a pretty big effect on the industry.

I don't know how things are in the US, but in Canada a foreign worker must be given the opportunity to apply for a position before it is offered to a Canadian. It may be the same where you are at, but I suspect that western game dev companies are simply not competent enough to actually find good candidates.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
I think it's actually a problem with the whole CS/programming career path in general. Degrees matter less in it because academiacel programmers're usually taught fundamentals and the actual 'whys' behind programming. However, a lot of the modern tech stack (game engines) are basically centred around making mediocre developers able to shit out more 'content' with it more or less working provided they plug in all the assets like 3d models, sounds etc into the right spots. This makes sense due to the fact that games're more of a short term thing where it makes sense to hire a bunch of indians for a while, fire them once the game releases while keeping the actual competent people on patch duty since they're more likely to actually figure out how to patch bugs.
This probably explains why AAA tend to be as buggy as they are, too. I think it's more or less due to a lack of trying than incompetence in the hiring project. Like, sure, someone might've read SICP, the Art of Computer Programming, or whatever. But that's mainly theory. What you want as a CEO is someone who can do the needful and get the needed done, fast, so you just hire 20 indians and call it a day.
Also this is fricked considering the population of india in comparison to like, most western countries on their own.

Yes I understand. In Canada, the issue with this is that we have a shitload of people who got degrees during the resource boom in the 2010s, who are now being "forced" (by their own incompetence) to work in tech because there aren't any jobs anymore in "their field". This is actually one of the reasons I know about this whole thing, we've been overrun with them and now they complain that we "aren't giving them a fair chance" and try to unionize even though they make like one quarter of what experienced workers do.

Yeah, there is some logic to that. I don't think that policy has ever been applied to a specific position, but there was a case of a big company that had to pay a ton of money in damages for discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation (I think).

It's kind of odd to hear this since I honestly thought the entire suicide squad would just hate the justice league for existing in the first place, considering they're all meant to be criminals who've probably had their criminal activities shut down in the past due in part to the League's existence. I also thought all the suicide squad members would hate cops too because it's just kind of obvious?

G*mers will literally rise up against outsourcing writers to san francisco but not programmers to india
Jump in the discussion.

This is because the average person doesn't understand what programming actually is, and thinks its some actual arcane esoteric art. It's not, but since a lot of money goes into making up new buzzwords to confuse anyone even glancing at the field, people think it is. The natural solution is to of course just turn the g*mers chuddier so they hate the swarthier races more in general, and thus learn to hate indian programmers.
