Right Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 ^ Article isn't about VMC's HYD subsidiary, it's about the work culture in 3rd party game testing companies, which is pretty much same everywhere, low wages, long working hrs, contractual employment, low-growth etc. No one will (or be allowed to) publish their clientele on websites, especially when you handle this kind of work. Even a small leak can be disastrous. All these companies have big NDA's for their employees, sometime even for specific projects. Their was a small press release sometime back which vaguely mentioned ACTI. But I know they work for ACTI unless they have lost it once the initial contract was over.

chupchap Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 LOL, kid. Just leave it, aight. The whole NDA system is quite screwed up. I can understand if a company is held responsible for leaking nfo but there is nothign wrong in saying "hey people we tested these games." I don't understand why some some publishers are so tight-lipped That said, this is the case with animation sector. Companies can't say which all projects they are working for till like a month after movie release. In case it's an animation series they can't say anything about till the contract finishes. Pretty sad actually. There are some good companies doing some great work but they don't get any mentions because of this NDA thingy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
