Was the entire existence of the game just an op to make Overwatch get its shit together?

Capitalism working as intended

Deadass. It's really sad how we can never truly have nice things.

its not enough for a company to be profitable anymore, like NetEase surely is, it has to be *more* profitable than last quarter, forever, and to keep that illusion up we see things like mass layoffs. It's not sustainable but no one cares as long as the line goes up this quarter.

Because if you don't lay off the people who did their jobs really well, they'll ask for more money.

If you DO lay them off, YOU get more money!

[The number must always go up!]

Guys, it only made $136M in it's first month! Those poor, starving executives HAD to make layoffs SMH...

A frankly disgusting quantity of C-Suite greed. We (the working class) can't have shit (livable conditions) in this house (capitalism)

No wait for the investor call trying to bullshit their way through why gamers aren't being retained, why game play is getting lambasted.

Because you laid off parts of your team that made the game great!

It's like the top brass is trying to create a class war, how short sighted and greedy can they be?

Boycotting when everyone takes it seriously has seemed effective when the right does it like with Bud Light, wish the left could unite more in circumstances like this

I really hope it isn’t because NetEase is looking to raise prices on skins and BP…. 😩

Dawg, it hurts my soul that this happened. I really do hope the best for those affected. Obvious talent that created such a demanding game casted aside.
