Amirite?

You're welcome.

Sad. We can’t have anything nice

Valnet started in porn until they got done for hosting videos of an CSAM and illegally funneling money to Israel, then after a bit of a break started up the youtube channel "Little Angel", which provides animated content aimed at toddlers. Jesus these people should be castrated by slow torsion

Beautiful and so sad. I was also laid off today from Fextralife (Valnet). I had only worked there since January for the simple fact of needing a paycheck, but I appear to be a fellow casualty of this purchase due to budgets cuts and the like.

Thank you for giving them the opportunity to share their thoughts and feelings through your platform. Now I must go, because someone seems to be cutting onions nearby.

Thank you for existing, Aftermath. Even as the industry crumbles, it's good that the writers of places like you guys and Second Wind are able to keep high quality games journalism alive.

Glad the staff have a forum to give their own outro.

Really happy to see Ana Diaz among the list!

Giving them the platform to say goodbye like this is really decent of y'all. It's heartbreaking to go through here and see so many writers I've been reading there for years and knowing this isn't even everyone who was laid off. I hope they all manage to land somewhere that'll treat them okay.

Every fail son and private equity ghouls have no souls or talent and jealous of these writers and actually critics. They are not musicians in other fields that garnered mutual respect. They are just fat slobs who Monday quarterback business instead of sports. They are pathetic and scourge of America

Saving this for later so I can cry in the privacy of my own home :(
