Была такая якутская геймдев-студия Fntastic. Выпустила несколько малоизвестных игр и 4 года назад взялась за масштабный проект: MMO в жанре зомби-апокалипсиса под названием The Day Before.
Студия изредка выкидывала в сеть материалы по игре: трейлеры, скриншоты, посетила пару выставок, в целом снаружи выглядело как обычный геймдев-долгострой. И вот 7-го декабря игра вышла в ранний доступ. Формально ранний доступ позволяет предложить игрокам продукт в любой степени готовности: игроки покупают что-то вроде демо-версии фактически за полную сумму в обмен на обещания разработчиков, что проект будет на эти деньги доделан. Местами это очень даже хороший работающий механизм: моя любимая #Satisfactory уже несколько лет не вылезает из раннего доступа, и в ней куча проблем, при этом я с огромным удовольствием провёл в ней больше часов, чем в какой-либо другой игре вообще за всю историю моего гейминга. И обязательно вернусь (пока взял паузу из-за пресыщения).
Так вот. The Day Before в раннем доступе оказалась не просто недоделанной, по ней стало очевидно, что требуется ещё много лет и очень много денег, чтобы привести её хотя бы приблизительно в удобоваримое состояние. А трейлеры и скриншоты были просто обманом. Собрав по меньшей мере несколько десятков тысяч продаж (стоимость игры составляла около 1300 рублей в России и чуть больше в Европе и США), студия Fntastic вчера объявила о закрытии из-за "финансового краха". Написали примерно следующее: "Этих денег нам хватит, чтобы отдать долги, но слишком мало, чтобы продолжить разработку, всем спасибо, расходимся".
Никогда такого не было, чтобы кто-нибудь брал деньги вперёд и уходил с ними в закат! Большинство комментаторов в сети — и я к ним присоединяюсь — уверены, что это заведомо мошенническая схема. Разработчики увидели, что доделать игру у них не получается, попытались продать как можно больше и свернуть лавочку. С точки зрения закона сложно придраться — игроков никто покупать не заставлял, и о том, что игра в раннем доступе, все знали в момент покупки. Теоретически люди сами виноваты, что не почитали никаких обзоров от первых купивших, а поверили трейлерам и обещаниям.
Но здесь я хочу сделать акцент на второй глобальной проблеме капитализма (первая это монополии): искусственное раздувание ценности. В теории рыночная экономика должна мотивировать бизнес делать что-то полезное, интересное и нужное человечеству. Сделал хорошо, у тебя это покупают, все в плюсе. На практике мы видим, что вполне работоспособной является следующая схема: вместо того, чтобы тратить ресурсы на создание ценности, можно тратить ресурсы на _убеждение_ людей в наличии ценности. Зачем делать хороший продукт за миллион долларов, если можно сделать его за сто тысяч, ещё пятьсот вложить в маркетинг и просто убедить людей в том, что он хороший? Ну или если вообще у тебя нет специалистов, способных сделать хороший продукт, если это долго и сложно. Рыночная экономика помогает процветать миллиону схем, работающих только на маркетинге и других способах воздействия на людей, безотносительно того, а есть ли вообще продукт.
На рынке цифровых продуктов, особенно игр, это очень частая ситуация. Если вы думаете, что только ноунейм-якуты выпускают недоделку вместо обещанного, то ошибаетесь: в этом году вышла Starfield от одной из крупнейших мировых студий разработки, и там тоже разрыв между созданными маркетингом ожиданиями и реальностью огромный.

IELTS BAND8.5+ #Schedule
✅A - READING!
Make sure that you spend at least 1 hour a day on the following (don’t forget to record vocab, underline useful collocations, copy them into your vocab book... if you have one):
✅ B - WATCHING
Don't watch your content passively with the video/radio etc. playing in the background. You need to listen attentively since you'll need to do the same in the exam. Train your ear at an early stage and make life easier for yourself down the line. Oh, and if watching something.... subtitles OFF! 1 hour a day, too.
📆 MONDAY
📖National Geographic: select THEMES and randomly read an article whether science, travel, adventure, animals etc.
💻Documentary: think about what you might have read and type the theme into YouTube
📆 TUESDAY
📖Time Magazine: click the box top left next to TIME and randomly read an article whether politics, business, tech, health etc.
💻YouTube Videos: I have put together a number of YouTube channels I enjoy in a post.
📆WEDNESDAY
📖 The Guardian: Randomly select different themes and select an article at random to read
💻BBC World service is a good one. Loads of different themes for background listening: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/live:bbc_world_serv..
📆THURSDAY
📖Scientific American : randomly select a news article to read.
💻 Documentary: Curiosity Stream is a good one, but it's a paid website.
📆FRIDAY (Entertainment)
📖 Continue reading a book of your choice PROVIDING it’s not a classic (continue with that after your course)
💻 Watch a film of your choice but still have pen and paper ready! Subtitles off!!!
📆SATURDAYS AND SUNDAYS
Focus on doing your grammar and vocab exercises, practice tests as well as go over the vocab and things you have recorded during the week. Use the weekend to write your essays.
My guidelines:
📌 It doesn't matter if you're interested in the themes or not. In the exam you don't have a choice. So stop being selective. Move beyond Friends and The Big Bang Theory.
📌 Record "chunks of language". Once you've done the article or video, summarize it out aloud recycling that language you have just jotted down. Maybe even write a small summary.
📌 Less is more! Do one article or video a day. That's enough. Better do one, learn and recycle the language rather than watch/read too many and remember nothing.

On any platform, when we want to do something #asynchronously, it usually involves an #event loop. An event loop is a loop that can register #tasks to be executed, execute them, delay or even cancel them and handle different events related to these operations. Generally, we #schedule multiple async functions to the event loop. The loop runs one function, while that function waits for #IO, it pauses it and runs another. When the first function completes IO, it is resumed. Thus two or more functions can #co_operatively run together. This the main goal of an event loop.
