Zhyrr's Story9/5/2020 Hey dear followers. Today will not be a fun and spectacular update screenshot or new render of a commission.
However this tweet will point out a rather extraneous event which took place at @BBBStudioslnc. I will be trying to explain as much as possible, but due to not trying to break the NDA I can not disclose everything. The first and foremost fact I want to address is that the management team of BBB is lacking so much transparency that the members do not know what they are going to make. Content creators get royalties, a percentage of the total revenue of a map.At first this looks like a great system, but we never knew anything for certain, they turned it into a type of lottery. Just because the management team says you'll get X amount, does not mean they will give you X amount. I found out about this a while back, but it's even worse than what I thought it was. The managers told me stuff like 'We will make you rich', but I guess they reversed the 'we' and 'you' in that sentence. Maps on which I have worked my ass off have suddenly been cancelled simply asked them some things, 'Do I still get paid? 'No', 'Why not, I have worked hard on it' -You have been kicked from the team and your account will be blocked by staff-? An honest management team will always answer you with respect and facts. Not with a defensive stance when you question their credibility, and kicking you out the team after being pan of it for over a year. They have been hiding payment data, and instead showing only MY part of the earnings, completely shielding off any sense of credibility they still had left. They simply forwarded me to their lawyer instead of negotiating this like normal serious businesspeople. Another example I got from a source which will remain anonymous, a map which scored top 10 on the marketplace made only X amount of money according to the management team at BBB, while the number 11 spot made 10 times more than X. I can not share the exact numbers so you would just have to believe me on this one. This is will mainly focus on the 'existing' lawyer and accountant BBB claims to have. The given names do exist in the town where the office is located at But after a week of waiting on the accountant and lawyer, one can say that this is rather strange. For my last example I will use imaginary numbers (Percentages are correct). As I said we work with royalties. On one project I had a royalty of 30% and made 150$ whereas someone with 15% made 50$. That does not sound right at all, does it? Another funny thing is that the royalties were decided by, first one manager and after a "surprise meeting" right before publishing the map it was almost always decreased. Not only for me, but for everyone I have spoken to. Guess you couldn't afford to pay me but could afford to host a real life event, 3000$ office computers and a fish tank, and then brag about it? Go f*** yourselves, you pathetic backstabbers. My last thing would be a statement of the COO made through discord: 'yes and do you think we could honestly be scamming people when we have an accountant and lawyer going over our payrolls, plus being a new business, there is a very huge chance we and everybody we ever paid will get audited by the government this year. Those odds make it damn near impossible to get away with any wrong doing even if we wanted to, but obviously we don't. Will add a screenshot of her saying it in the comments. Based on what Tina says here, I can not be possibly get scammed by them. Let me remind you that any royalty has not been set in a contract. I have asked for a legal document for over two weeks now where the royalty of each map are stated. Never received anything and reminded them plenty of times. So BBB... I hope that I have informed any freelancers who are working or are going to work at BBB to stay away from these manipulative, scamming "businesspeople" A truth speech is a hate speech for the people that hate the truth. N, T, T - Zhyrr (Casper)
