Jaffe hates industry politics

Game creator David Jaffe has always been very vocal about his stand in the industry, and this this time he's talking about his dislike for the politics in it.

 

 

His Twitter feed has been recently on fire, thanks to his comments about the ongoing politics and how he really feels about it all.

 

 

"Managed to avoid the politics of work life for almost 20 years," said Jaffe in an emotional post. "I just always focused on the work. Not sure if it's because games are getting so expensive or the economy is so bad that people are more scared - and thus most desperate than ever - to keep their jobs but MAN I've never actually noticed the politics and backstabbing and bulls--- of certain types before until the last three months."

 

He went on to rant, "I will say this: I don't ****ing like it and I choose not to play. Live or die by the work only. The rest is just scared people in the wrong line of work."

He did not give any specifics as to what provoked him to post such tweets, but his posts do indicate that he's been keeping these sentiments to himself for a while now. He later on cleared the air that he's not necessarily talking about Twisted Metal's development in his posts.

 

 

"Oh for Heaven's sake! My b****ing about politics have NOTHING to do with Twisted Metal or the development of that game. Come on press. Stop making stuff up just cause u are bored and/or have no real ability to go chase a real story. Where do pee-ple get this crap?!?

 

 

Just last week, he opened up about his "shame" on how Twisted Metal's reboot started its development. Twisted Metal did show up at E3 this year, and brought out the new Revenge trailer.

Dont be pissing David Jaffe off, I love that guy. Politics are horrible among politicians, no need for shit like that to be in anything else, especially video games.

He's one of the few who says what needs to be said and not what some marketing goon tells him to say. I'm sure there's a lot of BS we don't know about but those devs want to keep their jobs. Someone has to tell the upper management why they're wrong or the problems will never go away.

What doesn't Jaffe hate, or at least mildly dislike?
