Paying for the suit shortsighteness I guess.
Cant wait to see how many C level people get canned!! wait… none, you mean the directors that forced that BS to be this way wont even get tossed out…
How dare my meddling not work out, you’re all fired!
Gotta love seeing the people who simply did what they were told being punished for their bosses’ mistakes
Big publishers might as well tell studios to end themselves when they‘re handing out these kinda projects, set up for failure IMO
indulged in. When a company does not lay off people from the upper tier, they are indulging in layoffs.
“Hit with” implies an unavoidable, tragic, and forced event. They knew this would happen months ago when KTJL face planted. Videogame companies complain about the “cost of making games” but they’re the fucks what spent the money. Maybe spend less on your marketing and budget, and when a game doesn’t sell well it isn’t a cataclysmic event that sinks the whole company.
But really, if game companies weren’t constantly at risk to have implosions from bad decisions, the board wouldn’t get their “please don’t leave us” money. So really this always comes back to - fuck the management, and the board. Videogames are treated as products so here we are.
At this point who isn’t laying off employees?
Headlines might as well just be “Ubisoft Reportedly Hit with Layoffs Due to 🤷”
Well Star Wars Outlaws just released so you might be onto something
You see this coming from an mile away.
