G*mers will look you in the eyes and tell you capitalism isn't at fault for any of this

They made the best hero shooter in a decade and died for it

Gaming is such a nightmare zone, what the fuck

This seems like a more uniquely Chinese company sort of evil/greedy where it's less "we're laying people off because it didn't make enough money" and more "now that it's in a good place we're laying the American devs off and replacing them with cheaper Chinese devs."

laying people off without warning is inexcusable but this seems like a weird angle to take when the core dev team was literally already Chinese

It’s even dumber because the people laid off were from a support studio that had 6 people at it

The industry is going to die because all good faith in any incoming developers has died. Why work for it if you’ll be laid off no matter what?

Militantly want the industry to burn even harder than I already did. Every money brained idiot must be ruthlessly purged.
