Still Making Games?
Two years ago I wrote this article about what it is like to work for big publishers after the original “EA Spouse” article hit the news. With the recent follow up on Gamasutra, I thought I would pull it out of the dust bin and publish it. As a little disclaimer, I really don’t care, […]
