    I think Princess about to ballistic and I don’t want none on me.

    Don’t you guys have your own product you’re making? I guess this IS more interesting.

      Game Fortress is an amalgam of the several small game developers I was employed by over the years, each of which worked as both subcontractors on big titles as well as developing small indie games. It was the subcontracted games that paid the salaries and rent… and those big titles were the only projects that had anything like product tie-ins.

    Production Teams don’t actually produce anything, despite what the name implies. They are more about merchandising and product tie-ins. They are reponsible for ideas like Star Wars-themed GoGurt, and Spongebob t-shirts.

      The “Producers” in the production teams at the game developers I worked for over the years were really just middle managers who thought they were the brains of the operation.

    I get it. I’ve finally worked it out!

    Everyone in Geek Fortress is tired of living and have engaged in a mutual suicide pact where they see how far they can push Princess before she whips out the minigun she keeps under the reception counter and puts them all out of her misery

    It’s the only logical conclusion as to how so many of them seem to have a sudden deathwish!

    There are certainly enough betas around for beta testing.
