    This makes perfect sense to me.

    At the start of your career, you want to be important enough that people will care about your opinions, which means getting invited to meetings where things are discussed.

    Stage 2, you’ve been there long enough and know how things work so you can offer input and help make decisions.

    Stage 3 is the point at which people will come to you for input outside of meetings because that’s easier. You just want to do your job and generally don’t care about decisions anymore unless they bring sweeping changes.




  • Ubisoft’s bean counters had some trouble reading the market on this one.

    They left Steam because they felt the 30% cut that Valve takes for sales on their platform is way too high, but didn’t account that users of Steam are really entrenched into that platform and don’t want to leave just for the chance to play an Ubisoft title. So instead of seeing 70% of Steam sales of their games, they saw 0.

    A few competent project managers would probably help things quite a bit, actually.

    Having a single point of contact for several disparate teams of people doing real work so that they can actually do that work, instead of spending extra time in endless meetings arguing over the best way to implement something that requires multiple people’s input is a valuable tool to have.

    Think of them like a tank in an RPG, taking all the meeting hits that would otherwise decimate the effectiveness of people actually putting the real work in.
