Message: [QUOTE="Tonberry, post: 264283, member: 124861"] An aquaintance of mine who "invested" in my friends' studio. Some nasty noveau-riche techbro who wanted fast cash because he saw the indie scene was booming and he probably remembered playing a video game when he was younger, but he knew fuck-all about how making games worked. Forced my friends to spend most of their time consulting for other studios for peanuts, then fired all of them once they eventually managed to release their game (which they had worked on long before he came along) because it didn't make him millions. Absolute bottom of the barrel scumbag, and the indie scene is full of them nowadays, but nobody wants to talk about it so it's a sort of open secret they even exist. Rich people who take studios hostage by gaslighting them into thinking they need them in order to survive and act as the leader, then when things go south because they know nothing about managing anyone, they just fire them and never takes any accountability.
