Even more layoffsWTF is happeningAre we really in the great vidya crash 2.0?
>>742896608RIP. KekBox need to hire more jeets using grok I guess
>>742896608I liked the new beastfolks design visually. I just wish they had Oblivion's voice actors, those were better.
Retards probably think that they don't need artists anymore with AI.
>>742896608It's not a crash, it's just everyone getting replaced with jeetsThis happens to every company that lets a jeet become ceoIn two weeks they'll "re-hire" 2000 indians with fake CVs
>>742896608deserved for turning them into generic humanoids, they use to have unique body features.Khajits also went from having unique speech accent to talking like fucking YodaFuck all the niggers at Bethesda, creatively bankrupt faggots.
>>742896608There have been layoffs across all industries across the globe so they can mass-hire immigrants or replace them with AI for the sake of cheaper laborThese industries are all delusional, retarded, and saboteurs. Vidya industry is going through it too of course
>>742896608Should have designed helmets that don't flatten their faces when worn
This legacy ip is cringe. You boomer be crazy
>>742896990Anyone else notice the increasing lack of behind the scenes footage and concept art for games as time goes on? It's like they're not proud of what they're making anymore, and it shows.
Just should mention it'd be unlikely she'd be responsible for designing Elder Scroll 6s Argonians and Khajiit so its no big loss
>>742896772>>742897054>>742897173>le jeet copeget new material faggots, I bet none of you have work in the tech industry. I doubt you've ever worked a day in your life. Jeets are all doing low tier wageslave jobs not earning 6 figures while vibecoding.
Most of the layoffs are the most senior people. Which is how it should be. Don’t fire the grunts who don’t actually make any decisions and are probably mismanaged.Did that person also have a role in Starfield’s awful art?
>>742897309Good morning, saar
>>742897242Some companies have literally tried to pass off AI slop as "concept art" because they think it's mandatory to look like an official project to be taken seriously.
>>742896608No, this is the bill for all the last 15 year of unbelievably excess in budgets, staffing to make games nobody fucking wants coming due
>>742897127You realize that she was also responsible for the Morrowind designs, yes? She probably wanted to give them lizard feet but a technical artist said they wouldn't have time to make alternate variations of all the armor assets so it got canned.
Asha has a jealousy problem and fired all the women at xbox. Sad :(
>>742897647hair looking pretty thin up there, todd
>>742896608IT'S A SHAMEHE WASN'TFIRED 27YEARS AGO
>>742896608They are firing as much senior staff as possible, not even boomers with experience are safe from the jeet replacement wave
>>742897127Nigg she was literally the one responsible for the Morrowind beast races lmaoWithout her the beast races will now DEFINITELY just look generic as shit from now on, hope you liked the Oblivion Demake blatantly ripping off DnD dragonborn for its Argonian designs AND somehow making them look like they were designed by gay furries at the same time
>>742896608ok but I don't carePost it on r*ddit and fish for some pity replies.
>>742896608The great purge. Singularity has happend. Ai took over. We dun goofed up
>>742896608Watching game devs lose their jobs is L behavior
>>742896608I'll believe when I see it. The layoffs after covid-era overhiring didn't seem to matter much in the grand scheme, and that was an industry-wide downsizing spurned on due to external circumstances, not just a few big players reorienting on their own timeline.What's it matter if the old guard is forced out when the plan is remake/remaster/focus group-slop? And even if AAA was more experimental than that, is the old guard even still capable of providing excellence? I mean, you occasionally hear of old devs banding together and making "from the developers of X" type games. But when's the last time such a company actually made some good fucking food? Respawn with Titanfall over 10 years ago? I think some anons like Pillars of Eternity, which is about the same age (idk never played)?For now I'll just expect AAA to comfortably survive on a cushion of slop. If they ever feel the need to whimsy it up, the indie scene seems plenty healthy and poachable. Unless some suit literally comes out and says that HW shortage + reliance on outsourcing and UE5 slop has led to an unavoidable competency crisis, I'm not holding my breath.
>>742896608gonna piss on american gamedev industry's grave
>>742898040who cares if ai takes game design jobs from game devs who sucked at their jobs?
>>742897480Which ones other than the one behind the Plants VS Zombies rerelease?
>>742897309No shit they are not going to pay them high salaries, that's the point. Have cheap jeets do the work to keep costs down because product quality is immaterial to stock prices that pump and dump every few weeks
>>742896608Notice how the only thing they can cite that they did in the headline is something they did decades ago.
>>742897127even if she wasn't literally the one behind morrowind's beast races, this would be nothing to celebrate. i mean, did you REALLY think there's even a faint chance of whichever chink/jeet/south american digital artist trained on faggy warcraft and dnd art they'll hire to take her place doing a better job?
>>742896608>"We need infinite browns to replace us!">*infinite browns replace you*>*le shocked leftist face*
>>742896608>make a generic cat and lizard head that fits on a human body so it can be equipped with the exact same stuff as the other characters. also you already have detailed background text and other games and concept art to helpwow, so much talent lost there
YES, IDIOT
>>742897309There's literally no getting through to people that are going to squeal about jeets in a thread no matter how irrelevant it is, all I can really suggest is reporting them for trolling or "racism outside of /b/" if you really want to piss them off because they're just white noise in a threadThese people read "layoffs, no replacements" and immediately yell H1-B on Pavlov's reflex
>>742896608after what they did to their legs - good
>>742897173>There have been layoffs across all industries across the globeYes>so they can mass-hire immigrants or replace them with AIThis is actually the fake news they want you to believe. They're actually replacing people with... nothing. Because these companies are running out of money. Interest payments on debt are rocking them.Fundamentally, the only paradigm that can work going forward is everybody doing a shitty job that they don't like, but only for a few hours a day before they get relieved by the next shift while still getting paid enough to live with dignity (which the "job creators" hate).You will not work your way up to a cushy 2hr/day wfh bullshit job. You will work 4-6 hours a day as a wagie cashier or fixing roads, and if you want to do creative stuff, it will be in your off time for clout. And desu you actually will be happier.
>actually the layoffs are good because they’re getting rid of the woke devs >no wait the layoffs are bad because they’re going to hire Indians Lmao
>>742899117You want them to look like humans with extremely minor additional features again?
>>742899264>actually the layoffs are good again because devs' work wasn't that important anyway o algo
>>742899264If there isn't a single big enough indicator that almost everybody posting about this on 4chan is a flaming retard
>>742899264either way i win by doing nothing
>>742899338>o algobrown
>>742897127>Brain dead Morrowind retard doesn't understand who worked on his favorite gameWhat a surprise
>>742899330are you dum
>>742899405>he doesn't know about the latest epic 4chan maymaysYep, microshart jeet shill detected
>>742896608If things were already bad, imagine how much worse they are now that they're firing the guys who actually got things done and replacing them with infinite jeets.It's literally over. Only indie studios will survive
>>742896608saar now the AI will be the making the good top end quality models for the Microsoft bethesda please to be buying our game and making us lots of the moneys
>>742899473Yes, that employee made that. there a games before that one, retard
>>742899513with enough jeets anything is possible
>>742899534and then they changed it. goodbye shitdev
>its just a person with lizard skin or fur and a cats/lizard head>acting like this is some sort of ground breaking design
>>742899505Being a turd worlder isn't a meme, Paco. It's your reality.
>Sells out to Microshit>Get laid offDeserved
>>742899473She was the one who designed Morrowind's beast races. Knowing how Todd rolls, the decision to remove their limitations and unique skeletons and animations was probably a collective decision to save up time rather than something she did as an individual.
>>742899057yeah man they're totally going to maintain their IP with skeleton crews and not use contractors like MS wants to do. Do not check if MS is applying for h1bs
Even if we get ES6 it's going to go the way of Concord
>>742896608Indian management means everyone is getting fired so Jeetina can hire all her cousins.
>>742899682>Do not check if MS is applying for h1bseventually employees are going to start forming armed militias instead of unions, and they're going to start hanging the H1Bs and the people bringing them in.
>>742898061What is the option? Not watching?
>>742899656good. they can all get fired together. the more the merrier.
>>742899264Even chuds don’t know what to make of this
>>742899739Y'all need to go the way of the Project Wingman devs and roll your own thing.
>>742899682I dunno how many more irreplaceable people can be fired before The Average Anonymous Poster realizes nobody's replacing them. Not even Id Software is the wake-up call and those guys are some of the most experienced western game devs around.
>>742899739You lifeless faggots are obsessed with everything being the next TORtanic. Grab a gun, put it in your mouth and blow your brains out you miserable shitstain.
no, just the great jeeteningthis isn't the end, just the h1beginning
>>742897309>Jeets are all doing low tier wageslave jobsYes? They're used to abhorrent living conditions so they gladly accept working minimum wage and living with 8 other jeets in a one room flat. That's kind of the problem here.
>>742899808Firebombing Satya Nadella's route to work while no one is on it so that technically no one gets hurt. Hypothetically.
>>742899820you do realize they'll be replaced with even worse millennials and/or chinks who from now on will just have the lizards and cats look like whatever they saw in world of warcraft right
>>742899929t.
>>742899997They're not getting replaced period. Those jobs are gone.
>>742899929Didn't know we had a Concord dev on this board, wow!
>>742899960and send most of their pay back home so it just bleeds the economy dry
>>742899997good. after that fails too hopefully the company will fully collapse. doing nothing is awesome.
>>742899805>and the people bringing them inThe call is coming from inside the house.
>>742900060nah i think it's very safe to say that they'll still need to have artists and modelers of some sort, be it human or AI, to shit out concept art and make 3D models out of said art so that you can play as the funny animal people in TES VI
>>742900112yeah man the indians on H1-Bs working shit jobs are bleeding the economy dry and not the rich cunts who don't spend anything
>>742896608>lay off every single writer from the old games>journos don't care>lay off art*st>A STAGGERING LOSSkill journos
>>742896608>Khajiit will probably just be shitty humans with cat ears glued on or look like the beastren from Dragon's Dogma 2, if they show up at allAnd like that, the little interest I had in ES6 evaporates. >>742897127Fantasy races having unique body shapedm animations and skeletons was always the thing I wanted in newer fantasy games, but instead these faggot fucking devs go in the opposite direction of making everything a boring fucking bipedal humanoid because they are talentless lazy cunts. The collapse of the gaming industry can't come soon enough.
>>742899412Decades of Elder Scrolls fans semi-ironically discussing the games as if they were developed entirely by Todd Howard and/or Michael Kirkbride does that to people.
>>742899980Good idea, harder to pull off, unless you're an ex-military.>>742900112That as well.
>>742900283Yeah, because there's definitely only 1 enemy. Completely impossible for there to be multiple problems.
>>742899929>being this BUTT HURT!You're dumb!
>>742900315The last remaining OG TES writer at Bethesda got several articles written about his departure when he left and recently also an entire interview in which he told everybody why he left and his now abandoned general plan for TES VI's story though
>>742900420getting equally upset about a single drop in the bucket vs. a full bucket next to it is fucking stupidyou ever heard of "choosing your battles" anon
>>742899264Chuds don't actually believe in anything and never will. They just post wojaks, call you a tranny, and nothing else
>>742898571>WTF it was just supposed to be farm workers and janitors and fast food, the work supposedly below our little white boys! (it was not below our little white boys, our little white boys needed those jobs so that they could gain work ethic)
>>742900315they're not talking about the writers because the last big writer departure at bethesda happened 3 years ago you fucking retard
>>742897647Todd heightmoggin hard, izzat loss.
>>742900476I am upset about the full bucket, retard. Because without the full bucket sponsoring visas then the "single drop" wouldn't be a problem. But millions of drops adds up fast. Just because their visas are sponsored by bergstein doesn't mean they aren't a problem themselves.
>>742900745anon there is no amount of indians sending money back home that could ever equal the wealth hoarded by rich cunts in americathis is an imaginary problem and it's a very lazy rehash of mexicans sending money back home and DURN MEXXY CANS TAKIN UR JOBS
>>742900315spastic
>>742897309...
>>742900283why are you defending the rich cunts' scab labourers?
>>742901142holding them personally accountable for, what, wanting a job or a better opportunity than their home country could provide? that's not only insipid to get mad at, it's downright ghoulish to get mad atthe rich cunts doing it so they can skirt around labor laws and regulations? yes extremely contemptible
>>742896608Jeeta is bringing about Microshit ragnarok. Interesting. A lot of woke studios/devs are getting fucked but I assume a lot of just normal guys are getting fucked too. Something that is quite funny is that none of the gachashit coomer games seem to be having such profitability issues. Maybe studios should just give gamers what they like (sexy bitches and cool guys without any of Le Message)
>>742901298I hope this is satire.
>>742901298i am quite entitled to get pissed off at people who move here, work as scabs, occupy housing that is already scarce, gum-up already-congested roads, commit a ton of race discrimination, defecate in public, act like sex pests, and spit beetlenut sludge everywhere.which are you: jeet, redditor, or both?
>>742897127>Khajits went from having unique speech accentSince fucking when
>>742901615i also take /int/ memes as hard fact and then call people redditors
>>742901615For me its the apu's. Fuckin 711 got a limited time philly steak out and I want one, but all my 711s are jeet tun and they dont sell beef products because theyre literally and spiritually less that livestock.
>>742900315Writers are also artists.
If she allowed these I have no sympathy for her
>>742896608Classical hindu mafia move. Then they will staff the freed work positions with hordes of jeets who will just do nutless monkey job with "AI" slop.
>>742901826yes anon an elder scrolls artist was personally responsible for the random NPC generation of starfield
>>742901691
>>742897309Anon the head of xbox literally filed for 3400 H1B visas the week before these layoffs
>>742901949He's been defending brown invaders all thread. Ignore him.
>>742901949she also handles more at microsoft than just xbox, that is insanely short notice for a large number of visas. even if her plan was to indian-ify xbox that is a completely insane time-scale and an insanely long time with zero workers after firing them all to believe those visas are for xbox
>>742901949lmaooo
>>742901826Retard
>>742897309>I bet none of you have work in the tech industryGuess whose fault that is?
>>742897127she was unironically the best creature character designer in the industry, the rest have extremely lazy creature designs in comparison because it takes too much effort to learn anatomy of both humans and animalsautists like you hate her for not giving digitgrade feet or feral mechanics, but they're doing their absolute best. Watch as they make the khajiits humans with cat ears and argonians humans with a lizard texture like a fucking South Korean mmo.
>>742902041!remindme 3 monthsedit: thanks for the gold, kind stranger!
>>742902174surely calling him a redditor will make my shitpost make sense
>>742896608>ShitBox
>>742897127SONIC'S ARMSAREBLUEREEEEEEEEEEEE
>>742902160We already know what they'll look like thanks to the Oblivion Remake. Argonians will be just Dragonborn from D&D and Khajiit will be just furries.
>>742902363you underestimate them, they'll look like thundercats and savage dragon
>>742896608Todd should just leave at this point, working at Bethesda has not got to be worth it if all the people you worked with are gone and all you are left with is ass kissing slimes like Emil and a bunch of indians.
>>742902616I mean, thundercats-looking Khajiit literally exist in the lore already lolIronically, they're actually the ones Bethesda is the most reluctant to show. Even in the MMO, where most Khajiit variants are in, the human/elf-like ones are only talked about and represented in statues rather than shown in the flesh.
>>742902160Tbf there are literal gay furry porn artists who can do similar work. Trogan and Laser have both put out breakdowns of their horseman anatomy iirc, including how their dicks/sheaths work.
>>742896608A bunch of layoffs doesn't mean a crash is happening. A second crash will never happen unless gaming becomes a niche thing again.
None of y’all can say “oh it’s just the woke devs” now, she was literally working there since the Morrowind days, before most of you were even born. Lol
>>742902861you dont know the brains of the CEOs, they want designs that correlate with $$$ so they'll copy some popular asian mmo without any regard for its context
>>742896608They weren't woke enough nor they outsourced enough pajeets.
>>742897309Jeets taking lower-mid level positions is literally worse than them occupying high-level six figure jobs that are hard to get because that means they wall people from setting their foot in the industry and prevent them from moving up to those high pay positionsLearn basic economics. And basic economics suggest we should start geocoding Indians.
> laying off competent devs with decades of experience will surely lead to successful video game releases ???
>>742902971and since morrowind they went woke and have produce garbage. seeing people that produce garbage fired is great
>>742896608Dead studio, no game that's even remotely good will ever be shat out. I mean Fallout 4 and 76 were already indicative of that considering they were dumpster fires, but Microsoft is where studios go to die.
Kinda crazy how a year ago people were calling her to be fired because they say she's a tranny responsible for Bethesda being shit and now that she's fired people are going "boo hoo she was so good how dare xbox fire them"
>>742903127claude and ue5, please understand
>>742896772The khajiit is nice but show me a bit more of the argonian
>>742903326A year ago the only people here who knew she existed were a handful of Morrowind autists who appreciated her designs for that game.
>>742903127Video game releases? No, this is about making line go up, goy.
>>742903510She appeared in that Oblivion remastered video last year talking about the work she done on it, a lot of people got mad at her because she's an old lady and isnt pretty and said she was a tranny.
>>742903326>a year ago people were calling her to be fired because they say she's a tranny responsible for Bethesda being shitI could see some sharty reject's mental illness Wheel of Fortune landing on this woman and declaring her a tranny so a few threads were made for a while, but this kinda sounds like it didn't happen
>>742896608So who are left at Bethesda for Skyrim 2
>>742903602>>742903634I don't recall anyone calling her a tranny, they just assumed she was a talentless tumblrina dangerhair game ruiner in virtue of her having dyed hair and not being gorgeousOf course, it was still quite pathetic since she turned out to actually be a Morrowind-era OG who's only not pretty due to being a literal middle-aged old lady lol
>>742904161There was a thread today just about it
>>742896772I look like this
>>742903647The Veilguard writer they hired is still there.
>>742896608Yeah. Will you all fuck off from this board now?
>>742899805Retard, Americans are so cucked we'd rather wait for daddy governments permission rather than actually do some kind of real revolution.
>>742897309https://www.myvisajobs.com/employer/microsoft/>filed for 4000 jeets in 2026Shitskin lying nigger
>>742904909prove they're destined for xbox or fuck offno implications, no tarot card readings, no "it's obvious"prove they're going to be put in xbox or fuck off
>NOOOOOOOOO YOU HAVE TO JUST LET 6000 PEOPLE DO NOTHING AND RELEASE A MID GAME EVERY 2 DECADES NOOOOOOooooRest In Shit bozos. Any other industry these retards would have been shutdown years ago.
>>742905008Go back to eating cow shit jeet
>>742896608>no notable work in 15 years>the work mentioned is something very frequently overhauled by players using mods because of how ugly it isCya
>>742905090>prove it>>jeeeeeeeeeeet! i don't have to prove anything jeeeeeeeeeetlol
>>742896608literally yes, this is the first time anyone has called crash and been right. Videogame hardware is going to get 10, 20, 30x more expensive and it's never going to come down. Entertainment for humans has no economic value.
>>742905008>prove they're destined for xbox or fuck offAn American company laying off that many people and hiring THAT many foreigners should be grounds for public execution regardless of wat division of the company it was for. ESPECIALLY when those foreginers JUST SO HAPPEN to share the same nation as BOTH CEOs
>>742905013I keep wondering how this is supposed to be a condemnation of anybody but Xbox for literally not managing them and I get a lot of bluster and whining about lazy devs back every time. Do you guys get paid to do Microsoft's PR work or is it all, like, janny level compensation and you get paid in Hot Pockets?
>>742896608The character designer would be the first person I'd fire, right after Emil.
>>742905109Why does every single indian eat cowshit?
>>742897309Way to out yourself, ranjesh
>>742903127decades of experience costs more to keep around.
>>742897309>Jeets are all doing low tier wageslave jobsYou can disprove this easily by visiting new developments in the Seattle-Bellevue suburbs and observing how people choose to decorate their front doorsHell at one point they were even marketing $1-2 million mcmansions as Vastu certified
kick out gary noonan already
>>742896772That jeetcunt is doing exactly that. 3.2k layoffs followed by immediate request to approve thousands upon thousands h-1bs.
>>742905204Xbox has been nothing but nice to them, devs should be constantly threatened to be fired in order to make great games.
>>742905379Everything in india revolves around shit. They eat shit. They bathe in shit. They medicate using shit. They worship shit.Once you understand the Indian psyche and their obsession with shit, their behavior makes more sense.
>>742899929I want you dead tk47
>>742896608yep, except instead of a crash its just an insane amount of layoffs to make room for chatgpt/indian employees.prepare for saarfields for the next 20 years
>>742905540You've utterly failed to spin this as anything but Xbox being a bad manager
Fuck bethesda. How are they even successful? All their games are riddled with bugs and flaws that are left in the game for years. Insulting, offensive company.
>>742905540>im gonna pretend to be a badass cutthroat business man on an anime image boardfooling no one there, brat.
>>742905626Yes, Phil Spencer has been a bad manager and too nice. Now that they're being managed by competent people again we're finally getting good games because devs are not able to make games nobody cares about anymore.
>>7429057161000 Game Pass points have been added to your account
>>742905565Nuh uhThey also like being crushed under large animals and constructs
>can you tell us what you do here?>I designed a cat and a lizard person 15 years ago>ok what have you designed recently?>uhh what about a DOG person>ok we're going to have to let you go
>>742905815They also like suicide almost as much as trannies.
>>742902160>Watch as they make the khajiits humans with cat ears and argonians humans with a lizard texture like a fucking South Korean mmo.Anon you do know how Khajiit looked in Daggerfall, right? Or Argonians in Arena? The Khajiit as cat people really came from Redguard and the 1st edition of the pocket guide to the empire. Since Daggerfall they have never shown the human eared, human faced Khajiit with cat tails from Daggerfall.
>>742901826/v/ is proof that you can be contribute a lot to a gaming studio, work during the gaming golden age, and be a part of countless gaming classics that /v/ adores; and when you get fired so stockholder value can rise +0.0005%, you'll be viewed as a purple-haired SJW from 2016 cringe compilations.
id get simping for pussy but pajeet pussy?!LMAOING @ >>742905716
>>742897127>Khajits also went from having unique speech accent to talking like fucking YodaThey still talk the same way from Morrowind. Also it's a cultural thing since in ESO there's a Khajiit raised by Orcs who sounds exactly like an orc.
>>742906067/v/ is 90% indian. If you dont like indians you dont belong here.
>>742905964The Arena Khajit didn't even had tails. They were almost like just another race of humans. Arena Argonians looked a bit like orcs.
>>742906159I thought we were all mexicans larping as whites...
>>742899264Both things are equally goodI think all American businesses should eat slop shit and their consumers as wellI need normies demoralized and mad
>>742905540>devs should be constantly threatened to be fired in order to make great games.Even if you make a great game, you're still gonna be fired, dipshit. That's another thing about how awful the state of the gaming industry is now.
>>742906181Yes. Both the Arena and Daggerfall Khajiit got retconned into being one of the forms of the Khajiit called furstocks.The Arena Khajiit became the Ohmes furstock and got elf ears since they had human ears in Arena.The Daggerfall Khajiit became Ohmes-Rath and they're the most human-like Khajiit save for their light coat of fur and tail. Contrary to popular belief they don't have cat ears and don't look like anime cat girls.
>>742903602Aposemetic signals are aposemetic signals. If she doesn't want to be associated with a group then that's easy enough to avoid: just don't do the thing that associates you with that group. Picrel should expect to be associated with LGBTQ because he sends the signal. Nobody but a few assholes care that a middle aged woman is fat or ugly, especially if she's got a good resume. It's the (perhaps accidental autistic) tribal branding that she chose that caused the reaction. Now if you'll excuse me I'm off to get a swastika tattoo. But I'm not a Nazi. I just think it looks cool.
>>742906331Nazis are socialists and leftists.
SIXTEEN TIMES THE CUM
>>742906393ahh i remember this line of argument trying to gain traction on tiktok, just like super-straight
>>742906393True. Their PR department has been asleep at the wheel.
>>742900242You're assuming they'll even bother making new games. These teams go a decade or two between games as it is.
>>742897309Thats the point idiot, they're replacing you with vibe coding pajeets who do a similar amount of work and earn about 25% of what you do
>>742909287>replacing youi knew anons were mentally employing themselves at xbox for some reason but this is ridiculous
>>742899264>fire and blackball actually talented gamedevs after gamergate>hire gay replacements>games get worse and sell less>fire gay replacements>hire indian replacements>games don't get made, indians hire their family members to get them temporary visas, offices become open sewers>game industry finally collapseslol
>>742909287Wasn't all the layoffs for woke devs and middle management? Why are we making it seem like avowed or outerwolrds are good? Next it should be 343 to be gutted and shutdown.
>>742910260who the fuck told you all the layoffs were "wokes devs and middle management"
>>742909287i wont be buying those games either. it'd be a shame if they spent hundreds of millions more figuring that out...lol
>>742910260You’re delusional. One things that’s clear about modern businesses is that there are two types of employee:User and used Managers, investors, middle men, random advisors and other worthless shit are usersArtists, programmers, engineers, labourers, pretty much anyone who does the work are the usedTurns out the people who control the format of the system don’t consider themselves expendable and replaceable. The decay of an industry is when it’s so big it gets filled with people who don’t actually care or know about what they’re doing, only that they can get money being involved with those that do
>>742899505fake ESL shit has been gay since it started, the whole fucking up tenses thing is so retarded and just makes actual ESLs feel like they fit in better
>>742910361Its all over YouTube and twitter lilttle wokey. So many tranny writers got fired from obsidian and the horrible artist behind outerworlds and avowed was also kicked out. I think they want to fire woke and let based people make games
>>742899621>>742910670ay caramba los gringos no se tomaron muy bien o algo
>>742910629LinkedIn says otherwise tho I keep seeing droves of middle management saying they are being let go. Position like user research, sport partnership, cohesive design leader etc... all those positions sound worthless to me
>>742910697>Its all over YouTube and twitteryou're quoting grummz posts aren't you lad
>>742897127F(5th)PBP
>>742896608LOSE THE KHAJIITHIRE THE PAJEET
>>742910865>factually wrong>DUDE UPDOOT
>>742910829He's literally an industry insider Who else should I quote? I been dealing with woke since 2020 and now they are all losing their jobs. Next we will shutdown sony Santa Monica and naughty dogs
>>742910670It's not even "fake ESL", the o algo meme started in tandem with the meximutt meme, it's a direct translation of "or something", which americans supposedly overuse according to ancient /int/ memes.
>>742911065>/int/So it is third worlder slop. Thanks for confirming, Jose.
>>742911160No, it's shartyslop
>>742911056>He's literally an industry insider huh? he's a fat faggot whose legacy is "having worked at blizzard, once", stringing people along for his DOA mech game that he doesn't work on, and ragebaiting literally 24/7 on twitter
>>742911254Why is v so woke now wtf?
why is only west crashingeast is thriving
>>742896608>no more furriesi would love that desu
Weird thread, you'd think the skyrimcoomers and morrowautists of /v/ would finally unite to mourn the woman who gave them *both* mountains of furry porn through the Skyrim designs AND their beloved digitigrade legs through the Morrowind designs but i guess the modern internet is just far too negative for that
>>742911527AAA is crashingsquare enix and capcom abandoned playstation exclusivity because they could see where the wind was blowingsony and microsoft will sprint into their own gravesliterally everyone else is unaffected
>>742910963factually right thoughtbeit, she's may have been the designer in morrowind but she's still responsible for the design in later game.
1
>>742911701too many sharty children trying to fly around and scream about woke devs getting what they deserve and "development is going back to ten guys in a basement"
>>742896608>Are we really in the great vidya crash 2.0?no, it's just that financiers realized that there is no reason to pay american devs 150k a year to produce a worse product than japanese devs can produce on 35k
>>742896608Xbox really did lose a shit ton of money after all these years. No way in hell game pass subs could have ever been enough to recoup all that loss. Buying Activision Blizzard was the dumbest move by them by far. They should have just bought timed exclusive rights with Caca Doodoo just like they did once upon a time with the DLC. They could have said hey guys, CoD is better on our machine because we got some timed exclusivity but nope. They had to be too greedy. And now all of that shit is biting them on the ass hard once they realized not even buying CoD was going to get gamers to switch over to Xbox. $70 billion down the fucking drain kek
They are good actually
>>742912707$80 billion, actually, bethesda's purchase costs too
>>742910881>LOSE THE KHAJIIT>HIRE THE PAJEETpottery
these layoffs and /v/ racing to blame jeets the fastest will be the event horizon that makes it uncool to meme about indians, mark my words
>>742909287Pajeets can't code for shit. Windows 11 keeps getting worse and worse because all the pajeets working at Microsoft are too incompetent to do their jobs since they are below 80 IQ faggots. Working at Microsoft requires a certificate or degree but these pajeets work without one of those or has a fake one.
>>742901949That feels like it should be illegal but corpo jews can do whatever they want and clapmerican golems will go along with their own replacement
THEY KILLED MY FUZZY WIFEMY WAIFUR
>>742897309I worked near Qualcomm and around lunchtime there were tons of pajeets everywhere. So much that a lot of Indian restaurants popped up around the area.
>>742916270there's no tangible connection between the xbox layoffs and the visa applications, else it would be illegalevery connection between the two as far as actual paper-trail is /v/ desperately wanting it to be the case so they can yell about the funny jeets haha (upvotes)
>>742896608I fucking hate Microsoft so God damn much... They gutted Id also and the next day Doom the Dark Ages was released without DRM and was thus pirated instantly.
is china safe from the jeetide?
>>742916516To be fair jeets deserve to be mocked relentlessly. Cow poop eating uber eats drivers with delusions of grandeur
>>742897309>jeets are taking entry level jobs that actual people should be able to use to get a foothold on their career and earn a stable livingThat's JUST AS BAD you idiot
>>742896608>talent>the guy who made the fucking beast races in skyrimbro is literally the reason i say bethesda can never make a game set in black marsh or elswheyr, because they are incapable of making good beast races so if they had to main beast races it would be a catastrophic failure on every level
>>742905534This anon notices.>5k h1b's filed>3.2k layoffs (so far)>mostly union workersThe union people would be the biggest hurdle to turning the workforce brown, so it makes sense that they're being targeted. People thought the jeeta was actually going to help xbox, but instead she's just replacing union workers with her caste. Don't forget that she lost facebook millions before jumping ship to instacart where she did almost nothing before ending up at ms (which is also poorly run by a jeet).
>>742897647My boy todd looking rough
>>742896608based purge them all
the fall off from Obsidian is crazy
>>742896772>designs a literal cat thats covered in fur> still gives her a brazilian wax instead of a full bushWhy????
>>742896608Indians work for less.It's Indian nepotism in action. How can anyone not see this?
>>742896608Oh no, not the guy who worked at fucking Bethesda for 27 years!!!! Truly a great loss.You don't even care what you repost anymore lol. Kill yourself.
>>742917743ESO already took place in those places
>>742897309I literally work at msft and in my thirty person team like 20 are jeets. I'm the only white person, let alone white male. Half of us have phds, the other half masters
>>742896608They did everything right, except make good games. How could this happen?
>>742899057SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR
>>742896608Dont worry, they got the pajeets to design the khajeets in the future
>thread is about industry layoffs>blame it on Indians instead of woke devs, self hating whites, jews and their gay, low quality excrement gamesjeets are the ultimate escapegoat of this site, truly mindbroken.
>>742896608All of these massive layoffs got me wondering about someone.What happens to independent contractors & freelancers (like picrel)?
>>742923781Not sure about subsidiaries like Bethesda but at main Microsoft all contractors are hired for only 18 months anyways and then new ones are rolled in
>>742896608You also see her in the making of oblivion doc
>>742906393>Nazis are socialists>national socialists are socialistsguess what? they're also nationalists
>>742923670Lying is easier than breathing for you shit goblins
>>742896608They deserved it for not making proper nude models
>>742923781Huh, so that's how he looks like.Well I'm sure he and the other contractors will be fine.
>>742896608God, one can only hope.
>>742896608>beast races>basically humans with cat headsmorrowind gatos were better
>>742896608He was a bad artist
excellent news. fuck furries and scalies
>>742924003Keeping the socialism relegated to just the nation is still socialism. Though it does remind me of Vietnamese communists who got flak from their Chinese and Russian counterparts who didn't like that the Vietnam commies wanted to be an independent nation state and not be a part of some global commie bloc.
>>742896608They will get replaced with prime Indian talent sporting at least 27 certificates for various qualifications.
>>742913128Is that Razorfist's second channel?
>260 posts>ctrl + f "outsourcing">only 1 hitYou guys are retards
>>742911804I'm sure a character designer was in charge of character model skeletons and lack of non-standard feet for universal animations, you unfathomable fucking retard.
>>742910260No, it was mainly technical people. The managers and HR biddies got to keep their jobs
>>742916516>there's no tangible connection between the xbox layoffs and the visa applications, else it would be illegalhahahahHAHAHAHA good one, amerigolem
>>742911458Over a decade of raids got rid of the usual posters
>>742930846So the Indian-run and infested Amerigolem horseshit company is singling out technical, competent White people, and apparently in one case someone who is Russian - in order to replace them with Indians.The jokes write themselves.
>>742897309>I bet none of you have work in the tech industry.Streetshitters were a problem 20 years ago already, please. Nobody fucking liked them back then & now they are outright hated (rightfully so).
>>742897309SSAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRR
>>742897309It doesn't matter, they kept making mostly shit before, they will now make mostly poo.
>>742896772khajiit, more like khajeet
>>742897127Retard
>>742923953cute horse, but is her actually female? that's a square chin even for a girl, even if of German stock
>>742903127should have used some of that experience to make better games then.
>>742896772What khajeet face mod is that?
>>742897647Poor Todd having to put up with this jeet bitch
>>742905204>corporate gets involved>"WAAAH CORPOS ARE MEDDLING AGAIN AND GETTING INVOLVED!!!1!">corporate doesn't get involved>"WAAAH WHY DIDN'T CORPOS MEDDLE AND GET INVOLVED?!=!!=??"
>>742931719>>742899412>>742898549>>742897928>>742897542Ok? And?Even if she had right idea in past she still DID turn them into what they are now.
>>742932469>>742930820
so was she responsible for skeletons in morrowind then?
>>742902160I don't believe you. I don't usually play furry/anthro games but this can't possibly be the best there is
>>742931941Was she in charge of the studio? Did she get to decide whether Fallouts 4, 76 and Starfield were greenlit or not?
>>742896772WHAT KHAJEET FACE MOD IS THAT?
>>742898071>Respawn with Titanfall over 10 years ago?Doesn't even matter anymore, since Vince Zampella died.
>>742905716>Now that they're being managed by competent people againThey just fired a Morrowind era character artist that worked on every Bethesda GOTY and did her job perfectly.
>>742896608Why don't they just sell the studios that they're gutting right now?
>>742905534as long as the current staff gets booted I'm content.At best there's some improvement and at worst their games still remain unbought.
>>742903127>competent devs
>>742933285This knower knows
>>742931021Yes, those people demand high salaries. Technical expertise are meaningless to them so they all get the boot.
>hire 1000 jeets to brute force code for vidya slop>game is completed >let go those 1000 jeets>spin it as doomposting clickbait article that "studios are dying save use government-sama!">meanwhile the top 1% of the company are rolling bank buying yachts to have underage sex orgies
>>742897309>saaar stop calling us jeets...!Not gonna happen you streetshitter. World would be a far better place if your species was extinct.
>>742899264Jeets are the lesser of two evils here
>>742938223It's a real Sophie's Choice
>>742896772>Still no answer on the face modCunt.
>>742896608>designed Skyrim Kahjiit>with the company for 27 yearsSkyrim came out 15 years ago. What has he done with the last half of his career?
>>742939598Was forced to worked on Fallout 4, Blades and Starfield while waiting for development on TES VI to start like all the other remaining TES OGs at Bethesda? Also, sbe was a woman.
>>742939746>Was forced to workOh Lord have mercy
>>742896608So they really are firing everyone who does actual work while retaining the 15 layers of management?
>>742899120>ou will work 4-6 hours a day as a wagie cashier or fixing roads,Cashiers were already being phased out by self-checkout before LLM AI was even a thing.
>>742896608>western AAA studioI see no reason to feel bad about them losing employees
>>742899682>Do not check if MS is applying for h1bsWhere could one even check this?
>>742903127>competent devs>bethesda
>>742899656Actually, giving them unique sekeletons would be easier since they wouldn't have to render hand/feet armor for Ks and As.
>>742896608good. because they looked like shit ever since morrowind
>>742896608>If a woman draws a cat person you MUST employ them for the rest of their livesLmao. AI solved the concept art problem, you don't need these people anymore.
>>742940380Except the foot armor they use is already identical to the other races anyway, they don't need to "render" anything different. And they'd also need to make new animations, and the beast races not being capable of wearing some armor would probably upset the handful of normalfags willing to play as them and that's a big no-no since you want your game to have mass appeal.
>>742899264Its funny to think the people actually making these posts are said woke devs reaping what they sow.You caused this.I did nothing.
>>742897309Doesn't really make it any better to be honest. Either way, you have some unqualified slave, who's only there because employing skilled workers and treating them like humans is more expensive.
>>742940587jeet post
>>742939598Going off of her portfolio and credits, what she did after Skyrim was the creature designs in FO 4, FO 76, and Starfield. She did the Mirelurks, Radstags, Yaogui, the Giddyup Buttercup toy, carousel horses, etc. She did a lot of animal, beast folk, and animal based object design at Bethesda from Morrowind on-words.
>>742896608Furryfags BTFO!
>>742940587Yeah, i sure can't wait to play a game filled to the brim with wonderful creatures derived from concept art generated by the mighty Dall-E, which pumped out gigabytes of amalgamated generic artstation digital art slop at the behest of its proompter, Rakesh of Varanasi
I bet the fag/s at the top prioritized keeping their Friends and Family on the payroll over people who actually contribute.
>>742932045todd loves jeets. like 80% of the npcs with voices in saarfailed is a jeet.
>>742896608It's the death of gaming.
>>742896608The morrowind ones were the most realistic. Beastfolks shouldn't be able to wear boots and deserve to be discriminated and be considered subhuman slaves that they are.
>>742930881>there JUST IS, OK
i have no sympathy these faggots probably made millions working for bethesda, you can retire now
>>742943190we need more indians developers to replace the shitty white ones and including the voice actors too
>>742898571>*le shocked leftist face*The implicit promise of modern leftism was that Browns would replace the White “deplorables”, with them (the upper (((White))) laptop class) remaining at the top - the only difference being a bunch of slaves in place of some bothersome white to take your orders.They were sold a lie of course, but they are too far gone in the globo-liberal religion of wokism to admit it.
>>742896608I think it's a little bigger than the vidya industry. The top 1% is giving orders to thin out the herd. Sit tight as you get processed. Better plan for an easy way out. check em
>>742923781Apparently they're all still in but the internal people that would QA their things and make sure they didn't brick consoles are gone.
Imagine getting rid of this guy, who made probably the most recognizable iconic art for Skyrim.
>>742952342They trained a model on his art which is basically a replacement.
>>742952032That shit had QA?
>>742896608Thank fuck. Good riddance to the creators of the 2 laziest fantasy beast races.
>>742953024Now imagine how much less it'll have.
fire todd
>>742897054This. The future is Artificial Intelligence and Actually Indians.
>>742955448It's so bad in the Starfield modding scene. Skyrim's CC has some okay stuff but so much of Starfield is literally just models ripped from sketchfab with AI voice acting from literal who modders. True fucking content farm.
>>742922084This. Furries should be furry
>>742956296Skyrim's Verified Creations are 97% shit, it just helps a bit that the top 3% has Kinggath and Legacy of Orsinium. Doesn't make all the recolored armors and 3D shrubs sold by real money any better.
>>742896608yeah, it's about timethe first crash didn't really get underway until a year or so after Atari released E.T. the Extraterrestrial, too
skyrim turns 15 this year
>>742957468Wonder how Dovahkiin is doing
>>742957557He'll be 18 by the time Skyrim 2 comes out.
>>742896608>Are we really in the great vidya crash 2.0?yes
>>742923781>Troonjizzxhe/xhym can go die in a fire
>>742903127What exactly makes you think they're competent?What have they released recently that makes you think they're competent?Do you worth at Bethesda? What do you know of what's going on internally?The idea that experience === quality is the biggest lie that's ever been shared throughout humanity, experience is valuable, but it does not equal to quality, it's just a tool that can create quality, or create horrible things.If anything the faggot was probably ultra anti AI or something and they went and decided to tell him to pack up because rajeesh is willing to learn
>>742899264I'm team crash, it's all pointing one way, team crash is gonna be happy
>>742957468time to replay
>>742896608Jesus
>>742896608I genuinely believe they've done no work on elder scrolls 6
>>742897309I've worked in tech far longer than you've been legally classified as an adult, and Indians make up the vast majority of developer positions in these large companies.
>>742897127I wanted to play Morrowind, but the way khajiits and argonians walk just killed my immersion, I'm glad that they have more normal anatomy in later games.
>>742957756Context?
>>742959514Anon's mad 'cause Trainwiz is even remotely popular in TES circles.
>>742957958Fun fact: that elf standing in the background is how Malborn, the Bosmer that infiltrates you in the Thalmor Embassy, was supposed to look like. Someone fucked up and in the final game he has the same default face the player character Wood Elf has (top left).
>>742958098
Thank God we have the Argonian designer over at Viruos to take over!
>>742958098That would be powerful
>>742959514A lot of retarded newfags have come in in the last couple of years and get mad about him for arbitrary reasons. Most of them are underage or mentally underage.
>>742960963Oblivion Remastered really was the Demon's Souls Remake all over again.
>>742960963the head proportions make him look like a furry
>>742959928>>742961159But what are these reasons? Does he espouse retarded ideology? Does he seethe against 4chan like most of the grifters who get popular off pandering to us then shamefully disown us?
>>742960963it's like they hired a homosexual furry to rip-off BG3's Dragonborn design
>>742961773He hangs out in /v/ Morrowind threads posting new mods that are coming out.

>>742961773Anon I saw Trainwiz in a Morrowind thread like three days ago, he doesn't go political, he just posts mod autism like always. Anon's mad because an anon will always be mad about something, somewhere.
>>742961773IIRC his wife is black
>>742896608>Humans but cats>Humans but lizards>Since then, nothing worth mentioningI don't think it's a huge loss
>>742960963Seriously what the actual fuck were they thinkingThey do realize Skyrim is a much bigger thing than DnD right? Why didn't they just use their already iconic TES V Argonian design instead of deliberately aping BG3?
>>742896608that's the ugliest fucking design for anything I've ever seen in my life. should've been fired 27 years ago
>>742931873nigga she's oldthis is her in 2006
>>742896608Crashes are quasi-unavoidable mass scale phenomena inherent to any sufficiently complex system. This is not a macroeconomic event, it's just full-on retardation. The absurd push for market consolidation gave away the keys to the most profitable industry in modern history to a handful of literal morons and rent-seeking profiteers too high on coke and addies to act in accordance with the most basic common sense. Subhuman amounts of stupidity and fumbling ensued, as was expected. And now that they've completely fucked up software and gaming, they're moving on to shit all over hardware industry.
>>742897309>thinks they're going to be paying them high salariesAnon, the entire point of replacing people with H1Bs is that they get paid LOWER salaries.
>>742961773He joined the Creation Club and makes paid mods.

>>742961773I mean he's definitely got some of a bent towards something.
>>742897309Jeet
>>742899264This is exactly the situation though. In true monkeypaw fashion.The studios that shut down were undeniably woke and couldn't turn a profit. It is unconfirmed if the studios hit with layoffs will be forced to take on Indians, but it is an extremely safe assumption.people like >>742900538 this saying this is somehow a gotcha or ideologically incoherent make no sense to me.stop with the chud/woke war. It is a fact that the South of Midnight, Hellblade, or Senua or whatever teams got canned for putting ideology before proft. But Asha is literally Indian, and industries like hospitality and call-centers + corporations like Microsoft have undeniably been outsourced to Indians at home and abroad.It isn't chud to say any of this. Maybe it is and I'm just autistic? maybe politics is post truth and entirely "vibe" but wouldn't that just be a self-own on your part? That reality is chud-coded?
>>742899057Fuck off Sundip
>>742963385He's completely right though.
>>742897309Obvious H1B violator. Someone back trace the IP address and report it to ICE.
Wow I cant believe an indian would do something like fire qualified people who have been working there for years and then replace them with pajeets
>>742909287You also get 25% quality because most of these jeets lied on their resume meanwhile Americans with technical degrees work entry level jobs
>>742897647NO FUCKING WAY SHE IS SHORTER THAN TODD
>>742896608yiff in hell furfag
>>742964101i dont know if hiring h1b indians is the play here but if they do do that, it's going to backfire just horribly in a few years.you could argue that indians can somewhat perform at jobs previously done by native talent at a company like amazon or google, since those companies have mature products that just need people to keep the lights on. big tech overhires redundant workers anyway to look strong to investors, and h1bs kinda factor into that scheme by being a cheaper way to inflate headcountshowever indians generally do not have societal game development culture to draw from, beyond making 3d assets and stuff, so they'd be filling the ranks of bethesda and whatever with people who have never played a PC game in their lives and have no frame of reference for what actually makes them fun. retarded doompills will say "it doesnt matter chud, they'll get their marching orders from higher ups and normies will buy it anyway" but we have already seen that how bad the industry has become as enthusiasts have left the process. btw i think calling entire companies "woke" is just lazy and unintelligent, because there are more complex reasons why companies do retarded shit and it isn't just because there are retarded social justice warriors working there (though it's part of the reason)
>>742962758but modding is half the "fun"!
>>742896608Is it really a staggering loss if they haven't made anything new for FIFTEEN YEARS
>>742968594retard
What else could it be but the fact that AI is good enough to replace them?

>>742896608>Are we really in the great vidya crash 2.0?no. this is just a market correction. all these lazy motherfuckers who are getting laid off were living on minecraft bux all these years without delivering (good) products. time to pay the piper.
