  • You own the license and can sell the license (generally), not the actual game. To use an analogy, if you buy and own a car, you could take it apart or replace any part you like, put the engine into another car, etc. You can’t do the equivalent with a typical game and other propertary software, at least not legally, because you don’t own it, you just own the right to use it.

    Might not make a noticable difference to most people because most people don’t do much with games/software apart from using it, but there still is a difference.


  • No I decide.

    Keep telling yourselve that, my friend.

    I’m minimum 12 weeks a year.

    It was 4-8 weeks when I asked you, now it’s 12 weeks minimum. Good for you.

    Have no interest in hiring you.

    Obviously I have no interest in a company as you work at, that’s my entire point…

    Look how you’re arguing about something you have no knowledge about.

    I’m telling you that this concept of “unlimited vacation days” sounds like, in my personal view, a shitty deal… As I told you, if you are happy with the deal, that’s great, no need to get so fucking defensive…

    Also pretty funny that you tell me about my work ethic despite not knowing me at all while complaining that I’m “arguing about something I have no knowledge about” 😂


  • If I don’t have my deliverables in then I would get terminated for performance.

    Right, so you don’t decide shit, your company decides.

    It allows me to take off as much as I want.

    Clearly it doesn’t, that’s the point…

    How much more time does someone need?

    In my opinion? At least 5-6 weeks a year, but guaranteed and enforced by law. More is a matter of negotiation. No paying it out (unless you resign), no saving it up for next year (apart from a few days), not counting holydays, illness and paternity.

    We also have 9 months of paternity leave as well.

    I don’t get why you keep writing as if you want to hire me… You don’t need to justfy your working conditions to me, if you are happy, good for you… I’m simply telling you that if it was me, I wouldn’t trust shit like “unlimited vacation days”…

    I decide.

    Oh please, then you could just “decide” to take every other month off and nobody would care, you would get paid the same,etc , you can’t tell me that’s the case…

    If you had read my comment, you’d see we are forced to take a eeek in July, two weeks for the end of the year

    Right, so 3 weeks vacation and you can’t even decide when to take them. Sounds like a pretty shitty deal to me…

    I take very little time off.

    It seems that way, yes, so what good does “unlimited vacation” do?

    I feel like I’m already off most the time.

    Are you a hiring agent or something? What’s next, are you going to tell me that your company is like “a family”?


  • Wait, so you get “unlimited” paid vacation days? That sounds like complete corporate bullshit to me… Who decideds when/if “work is done” or not? Even if your work isn’t done (there is always more to do), you still deserve vacation/days off.

    How many paid vacation days do people take on average a year? How many did you take this year/last year? What happens if your company decides that you have taken too many vacation days this year, will they mention it you want to discuss wages? What happens if someone doesn’t take a minimum number of vacation days a year, will they be forced to take them or will they get praise for being a “hard worker”?


  • Or just oligarch or power addict. In the eyes of most people, wealth is about luxury, material goods and fancy toys. Of course that’s part of it, but at a certain point, wealth is no longer about luxury and toys, it’s about power and having control over resources everyone else depends on.



  • Nah, there is definitely a truth to this. I grew up in a working class family who moved into a wealthier region at some point and I would never trade places with people who grew up wealthy. Pretty much all wealthy people are constantly unhappy, are obsessed with control to the point where they alienate their families, they are constantly scared of losing their control, status and wealth, constantly paranoid towards everything and everyone and often engage in self-destructive behaviour.

    Of course, not having enough money sucks, it generates stress and restricts autonomy. But a similar thing happens at a certain level of wealth.
