Well, should put some rumors to the ground
"but did ask a couple people about some rumors last week""paternity leave"
What is wrong with that?"paternity leave"
Enough to comment though.I dont give a fuck.
The golden age of Indies when they were being championed in E3.
What's even sadder is the quality of indies has made significant leaps forward since that time period. No offense intended to the games nor the people who like 'em, but back then the indies were Inside and Spelunky and Salt & Sanctuary, compared to stuff nowadays like Control and Blasphemous and Enter the Gungeon. It's not my bag, but indies are especially prevalent on Sony's PS VR thing.The golden age of Indies when they were being championed in E3.
Now, Indies are seen as shovelware, unfortunately. Such a sad thing to see unfold.

Sony should be singing their praises and working twice as hard to court them, but the flame for indies is gone.
Only paternity leave i would have ever got would have been in prison.What is wrong with that?
I'd love to do it, but could not...
Seems a bit too defensive considering "[...] ask a couple of people [...]" & "One third-party developer said [...]. I'm always vary of journalists working as marketing tools and vying for favor and connections. There's a reason why Twitter is cancer, lacking any sort of nuance and critical thinking within its 140 letters. Just like negative news should be taken with skepticism, especially based on anonymous sources, so should good news. I'd rather they show us, rather than spreading rumours.
Also, no need to hate on paternity leave, though it's kinda hard to take the paternity leave seriously considering his line of work and him being unable to keep his hands off and the baby only being about 2 weeks old. Perhaps there's some illness related thing, but that's a pretty early time to take paternity leave, especially considering that the real hell starts much later once the baby starts crawling (and shitting for real) and not when it's just pooping and sleeping (and not sleeping) and eating. Maybe Kotaku has some really sweet paternity and maternity benefits that allow you to take a lot of time off paid.
True, because PS4 is the de facto indie platform. And they should still be credited for their hard work early on in the gen. But consider how quickly the Switch caught up. Clumsy Nintendo doesn't skyrocket forward like that unless the competition is tripping and stumbling in some way, a true "PS4 is ahead because Microsoft made mistakes" situation all over again.We are still getting these games though.
OH NO THEY'RE BREEDING"paternity leave"
Most professional jobs have paternity leave. This guy isn’t cashiering at a local grocery store. His salary is surely six figures and paternity leave comes with the territory.
Is it just me, or does it seem like most people here and on era are broke as fuck? Ooooh wow paternity leave... how broke, skill-less and ignorant do you have to be to think that’s a big deal these days? It’s 2019 and this is the strongest economy ever. Hello? I wouldn’t be able to find a job without paternity leave even if I tried.
My impression is that paternity and maternity leave, at least paid, is not a guaranteed thing in the US and it's not only about cashiers, though I might be mistaken there. Though my main gripe was the timing and how he clearly can't stay off work, making it seems like one of those half-arsed parental leaves, where mother and father spend most of the time doing nothing like idiots or doing unnecessary things.
Even in Norway where you get money for guaranteed paternity leave as a % of the total parental leave, a lot of men earning a lot don't take it (and even those not earning a lot), because it'll impact you professionally and because it'll impact the economy because the roof on how much you'll get and the subsequent loss of money (especially since men typically earn more, as women tend to seek men who earn more than them, and as a lot of women prefer working a 80% or so week). Men that earn a lot often tend to refuse the "free" money they'd get and often get the mom to take unpaid leave instead until the kid is 1 year old and can start kindergarten. That's the effect of the % demand of paternity leave as part of the parental leave, as enforced by the state.
Ok look, is this Jason dude supposed to be someone important?
"paternity leave"
Hey now, I think it pretty cool of him to want to help out with his wife's kid."paternity leave"
Did your wife’s boyfriend also go back to work?My paternity leave ended 5 months ago
He tries very very hard.he tries to be.
Are you an "influencer" with 1 million followers (minimum)?PLEASE SONY SEND ME FREE PS5 FOR ME AND MY FRIENDS - SEE ALL THE GOOD THINGS I WRITE
I wondered when this corporate boot licker would show up and go out of his way to contradict what we heard.
Also nice to see he's out there taking care of his wife's child.
What you heard from anonymous rumors, like LOL, why do you even need his contradiction? You shouldn't have believed any of it in the first place.
Well, should put some rumors to the ground
As we all know, Jason Schreier never lies or pushes false information. /s
While I didn't really believe the previous rumor, I would never take anything from this guy as gospel or truth.
