Review: Siendo uno de mis más grandes hobbies, tenía mucha curiosidad por leer este libro, especialmente al ser escrito por Jason Schreier, del cual he leído y seguido varias de sus notas informativas en el medio de comunicación "Kotaku", me agrada la manera en que informa, y me pareció suficiente para darle comprar a este libro. Cuenta con 10 historias que lo que tienen en común son prácticas que te hacen cuestionar porque hay tanta gente dedicándose a este medio. Los desarrolladores de videojuegos viven un torbellino eterno de estrés y trabajo, horas extras y poco tiempo de familia, cambios repentinos y acciones legales en contra de su voluntad. Es una industria terrible, y este libro es la mejor prueba de ello. Ganarás mucho respeto hacia los grupos que crean todos esos videojuegos que tanto amas. Ya que en verdad hubo mucho sacrificio, lágrimas y sangre detrás de cada uno.
Review: Effectively makes it clear that working in a video game studio is not worth it due to the crunch culture that will permeate it and delays and disappointments will take place. Teaches you about how much effort creating a video game takes and the success or failure that can happen as a result of that. I think virtually everybody agrees that the best section of this book is about Stardew Valley as that game is great and it is created by a single person and is the best example of individual success through massive effort. It's relatable, realistic, inspirational and nerve-wracking. As a whole the book is very inspiring, intriguing and insightful.

Il mercato dei videogiochi è sempre più vasto e diffuso, arrivando a competere con il cinema. Ma dietro la creazione di un capolavoro ci sono spesso migliaia di persone che non vedranno mai un riconoscimento per il loro lavoro. Blood, Sweat & Pixels ci racconta queste storie di anonimi sviluppatori che hanno dato tutto, hanno lavorato ininterrottamente anche a discapito della salute fisica per rispettare i tempi di consegna e garantire il nostro svago.
