are you talking about gmshowcase.dk ? The site YoYo games literally pulled from existence to become their own "half baked" showcase?

Being bilingual allows me to actually validate sites like this.

Almost all of the English ∩ Danish are completely wrong. "Alannah, Aleesha" etc.

Take this site with a spoonful of salt...

surely, it is the underlying economic system ruining the art of modern video game development!

Unity is older than the Core runtime. They had to use Mono as their base.

char data[] is valid C in recent versions if it is the last entry of a struct.

But that is absurd! The titles are arbitrarily given

> IMO, this is also why we have "computer science"... as if computers were found in nature and we were trying to 'reverse engineer' how they are made; which is ridiculous!

"computer science" does not contain the words "computer" in many languages

You are being extremely anglo-centric.

In Northern and Central European countries, it is call datalogic or informatics. Your analogy holds only when you tell it in English.

all titles except for the ones indicating executive or direct reports are meaningless.

It is a game, where workers strife to be granted higher and higher titles, just because their peers and the industry does.

There is no inherit requirements, I can start a company today and call everyone super duper staff engineer

this is not a net plus game. Catering to Americans might mean catering less to other cultures.

Not everything caters to the American sensibilities.

Different cultures regard different things as professional.
