It goes without saying that there are a lot of perspectives on display in the comments of any message board...
When it comes to business practices, development cycles, marketing, budgets, managing P&L, decision making, etc, within the often huge corporate machine that is medium to large video game development studios, many posters seem to assume the role of Expert Business Ninja.
I'm curious as to how many people here actually hold people management / leadership positions in organisations with more than say 100 employees and have some perspective when it comes to Big Business (Stonks!) as a result.
Are you responsible for managing a budget?
How easy do you find it to "get stuff done"?
How easy is it to influence your team, change direction or float new ideas that actually make themselves manifest in a real way?
Why do you think you've got the perspective to comment on how Mega-Corp conducts its business?
Be honest :)
