Was thinking the other day, at this point Ubisoft is basically your grandma who used to be cool way back in the day but has been sitting vegetative in an old folks home for decades now. Might be a mercy to pull the plug, at some point.

Working with Blizzard in the mid 00s started like a dream: great games, great people, great rates. And it ended a few years later like a nightmare, nearly putting our small team out of business. Nothing new under the sun...

It is funny that a multi-million dollar company with more than a million daily players in their most famous mmorpg can't afford to pay more to agencies that these poor souls only offer what's in the mail. I got offered that rate in another agency, settled on a higher one and never got any work.

Blackmailing experienced translators is not limited to the video games sector. I know for a fact that many freelancers working with Smartling have received very similar emails a few months ago. They were translating all kinds of content for some of the biggest brands in the world.

"Game dev is one of those jobs you only do when you really want to. It's not going to make your parents proud, you're unlikely to get rich in an industry that lays off people for making superhits, and its a demanding & confrontative job. Why would you let a machine do the thing you're here to do?"

So our director @mittovac.bsky.social had the honor to be a judge for the very first French game localization award. How about a little essay on how to judge (i.e. appreciate) a game translation? Would there be a specific question you'd like to ask? 📝

This! We take a lot of pride in our workflow: every translator can speak with any other linguist at any time. It usually sparks ideas, breaks creators' block and overall makes the work just much more enjoyable. Brainstorming is key 💫

There're folks who believe media should only ever be pure feel-good entertainment. That any depiction of bad events or uncomfortable themes should be proscribed. However, art has always been a way for people - artists & consumers - to process and convey fears, anxieties, traumas and much more.
