So watching simnation's podcast

https://youtu.be/DOb2JnYjcp8?t=22m10s

They mention that during Henkka's stream Mariina kept repeating shes only in it for the money. This made me raise an eyebrow as why she would go out with that in public? Anyone who actually watched the stream could fill me in on this? I'm not trying to insult anyone, but if a CEO of a game development studio says this, it kinda scares me tbh :p

It was a clear joke, like that whole stream. Just read the transcript. It's painfully obvious http://www.reddit.com/r/CitiesSkyli...tes_from_henkka_art_stream_9th_of_march_2015/
edit: She's not drunk either. I watched the whole 4hrs when it happened. She was tired due to not getting sleep lately, which is really understandable (their biggest launch ever was coming the next day!)

The only part where she is serious is the part where she says being good with money. Which you kind of have to be to complete three game projects successfully.

Don't be spoil sports guys, or they have to start doing only frowny faces from now on. No-one would like that.

Reason many go to work....... no i'm sure she does it for free and doesn't care if her company bleeding money. Nah its for the love of games.

Actually my brain feels more insulted when they say 'they are making games solely for the love of games and gamers' give me a break.

And seemed like a joke

I watched the cast, it was a blast.

Comments have been taken out of context, some people don't understand the massive amounts of joking and sarcasm that was going on during that cast. Anyone that took just about anything she said during that cast too seriously should be culled from the earth.

Let's think about it for a moment....if she IS serious I'd be fine with that....she'd have just found out that making modernized versions of concepts seen in excellent older games is a way to make much money. You want money? I want modernized versions of older games. We can get along just fine!

With that said, prrreeeeetttttyyyyy sure it was a joke.

I can't see what's wrong with a CEO being interested in the company profits. Her financial diligence ensures she can keep good developers onside. It's when you get a complete board of directors who only come in for board meetings and don't relate to or care about the workforce that the depersonalisation and lack of job satisfaction begins

Jebus, one CEO tries to be close to the community and be cool and all and she gets shunned. I assume you prefer them to stand in an ivory tower and not give a crap about you like some other companies. *cought* EA *cough*

Let's not since she was actually referring to her focus when building a city inside the game. I swear you people! :wacko:

I dunno if you read my whole post or just stopped there.....or perhaps your second comment is unrelated to the quote. If it is related, relax I'm a fanboy try not to overdo being a fanboy yourself eh.

Obviously she wants to get as much money as she can out of he game, and still keep us happy, but it's a joke.

Alright, good to get that cleared up :) Got a bit worried there, as I didnt watch the stream myself. And listening to Pablo it sounded like it was really serious ^^

EDIT: Ofcourse everyone wants money, but hearing Pablo commenting it, it sounded like she didnt have any interest in games except for the money ;o Working with games, you should have a passion for them imo

I know that when I wake up in the morning to go to work, I do it because I'm getting paid for it.

Slavery has never appealed to me really.
