3D Realms: Join the team, we're still working on DNF |
Ó
We're no human resource experts, nor do we purport ourselves to be - but when looking for new employees, shouldn't you be using your company's outstanding achievements as deal-sweeteners, instead of the one thing that makes you look bad? If you agree, then it's not just us. Because 3D Realms, creator of critically-acclaimed games such as Max Payne and Wolfenstein 3D, is doing exactly the opposite.
In a job advertisement seeking programmers, 3D Realms used a small image, in what could be either the best or worst version of the proverbial carrot dangled in front of a donkey.
The image is about a certain game that's been delayed for almost a decade, resulting in lots of disappointed fans and even loads more of internet jokes and memes of it. Yes, it's Duke Nukem Forever, with the forever-delayed and currently ambiguous release date.
To be fair, the picture looks pretty good, and the perks of the job do sound sweet - but the fact that it's a low-quality GIF, and that it's not much bigger than common message board avatars is a bit suspect. Not to mention that they're only hiring one. It's not our place to make wild guesses, of course, but could it mean that 3D Realms is in fact going to give Duke Nukem Forever yet ANOTHER facelift? We really, really, hope not.

"shouldn't you be using your company's outstanding achievements as deal-sweeteners, instead of the one thing that makes you look bad?" Well Ryan C., That's because 3D Realms don't think there is anything wrong with their horrible mismanagement of the DNF project. As far as they are concerned, they've done everything right so far. In almost every other profession, missing an important deadline means you lose your job. Don't have that story for the front page of our newspaper? You're fired. Don't have that shipment your factory promised? You're fired. Didn't manage to finish that project before the boss came down? You're fired. But for game developers, it's the same tired cry of "don't you realize how complicated games are today??" Yes they are complicated, thats why you went to college. Move the **** on and do your jobs.
