About the book: year / Just yesterday you were working on an amazing game that the whole team believed in. And today you take things from the office and find yourself unemployed. What happened? The answer from Bloomberg News gaming columnist and author of this book Jason Schreyer is frighteningly simple - there is no place for fairy tales in the modern game development industry. Every year, dozens of game studios close around the world, developers lose their jobs, and hundreds of games will never be released. And we are not talking so much about amateur projects of enthusiasts, but about the brilliant teams that gave the world BioShock Infinite, Epic Mickey, Dead Space and other hits. The modern gaming industry is merciless even to the greatest talents; it is a world where there are no guarantees. “Press Reset” is an investigation based on unique interviews. You will find yourself in the very epicenter of events and find out what the last hours of Irrational Games, 2K Marin, Visceral and other studios were like, as well as how the fates of the people who had the opportunity to live through this experience in the first person developed.
