Why are they seething so much for being laid off especially with severance packages?
When I got laid off a year ago, I went to Japan for 3 weeks all the while applying for jobs and interviewing. I also was able to get a lot of my vidya backlog complete. It was comfy, and eventually found a new job that pays way more.
>>
>>745205102
Because nobody’s hiring for the types of useless positions these parasites had. All these companies are dumping their covid-era workforce booms so the roaches aren’t going to be able to just flee to the next company so easily. The walls are closing in on them, and they’re desperate to market themselves for ANYONE to take them.

why do they treat being laid off like someone is being killed in the line of duty? surely if these are skilled individuals who were fired capriciously their talent and portfolio would land them a job in a new studio very quick like?
>>
>>745205102
Getting laid off sucks no matter what. It’s good you made the most of it, but most people aren’t that proactive. Add onto that the fact that these devs are mostly sheltered and privileged retards and that’s how you end up with this giant inflatable rat.
Not saying their behavior is right, much less that you should feel bad for these retards, but their behavior is understandable

stop chudding out and start discussing video games.

the ceo lady and bethesda both tweeted specifically "tes vi: ********" with 8 asterisks. if the title has 8 characters then it can't be a province name unless it's cyrodiil again. or it could possibly be high rock. seems more likely to me it's probably not a province name but something different like arena. what do you think?

Because that's not how getting laid off actually works.

>Oh hey anon, so you know how we kept saying the company is fine and not to worry and we're all family and stuff?
>We lied, we're letting you go.
>Remember every single little mistake you've ever made with us that we said wasn't a big deal and never held you accountable for and how many times you've communicated to us the issues you have that we've constantly ignored and said wasn't an issue?
>Yeah actually we've recorded everything so we can make a giant case against you because we technically can't fire you without proper cause so technically it's not our fault because the rules do say stay off your phone and shit.
>Yes, other jobs still consider this a giant black spot on your resume despite the fact that the genral laws and social norms say it shouldn't be. But it's just business you can't be mad at me for not communicating and keeping secrets despite our policies that we've drilled in your head about how important transparency is and how many times we've actively punished you and your coworkers for this kind of stuff.
>Best of luck on the job search! Remember, you're not supposed to be angry and upet with us in any capacity and need to take accountability for your actions because like, it's you who choose to get fired and you who chooses how they feel!
>Wait, what was your position on the corporate ladder? Where you a higher up or more of middle management and grunt work?

Primarily because the US labor market is just fucking huge and filled with inequality compared to others. If my local workers all bail, I can pretty easily find a bunch of poorer workers who are functionally identical (e.g., English-speaking intellectual worker who lives in bumfuck Idaho compared to a guy with the same skillset living in L.A. California). Remote work has driven wages up for a lot of people in certain areas and made it harder for workers living in HCOL areas to get those same jobs, although the top-down push for return-to-office in those same areas has somewhat slowed that equalization. Very applicable to game dev jobs, which can easily be fully remote. If you tried to do the same thing in Germany or Sweden, you're going to have a much, much smaller pool of qualified applicants because there are simply far fewer people who know your language.

Secondarily, the US has extremely permissive immigration and outsourcing laws. It's trivial for a company to get immigrants or foreigners to do most jobs, so unionizing usually results in the entire company just deciding to do exactly that. Intellectual labor is not exempt from this pattern, and you can see that from graphics cards all being made in Taiwan, machine parts in Mexico, and immigrants (from a variety of places) being given work visas to take tech jobs in the US where they are typically paid far less than native-born employees.

The gaming industry is very passion-driven as well, as it tends to attract a lot of people who want to make games instead of work anywhere else, and that allows employers to take advantage of employees because they know many employees are willing to stomach lower wages and harsher conditions just to say they helped make a video game.

I genuinely think that the industry is beyond saving at this point
somehow, for some reason, gaming is the only industry where you as a customer are not allowed to complain about the quality of a product(otherwise you are being "entitled") while at the same time the developers are entitled to keeping their jobs no matter how shit of a job they do

If a CEO is having to do any work that requires them to know anything about the product, the business is on the verge of failure or is still a start-up. In any industry, CEOs are just people the board usually knows personally and rewards with a nothing-job that amounts to being the "face" of the company. Their actual job is literally only
>appear in company meetings and give speeches to placate employees to prevent as many as possible from quitting or demanding more pay
>appear in press releases to make the company seem friendly/strong/healthy/whatever image seems advantageous
>communicate anything the board wants done directly (e.g., "get the C-level execs to fire a bunch of people" or "make them work on AI stuff more".)
They don't have to know a damn thing about whatever widgets the business produces to do any of that. They just smile and wave and tell stories about their life to make employees feel like they work for a human that cares about them instead of a bunch of ruthless bastards that want them to be nothing more than part of a number on a spreadsheet.

Im gonna give a sincere answer here, its probably because despite anons complaining about leftie vs. based chud mindset ALL of them come from an era that promised them a semblance of job security and opportunity for continuous growth in their field. Regardless if you are a trans dev or a dev who tells those same trans devs to dial8, all of them are still under the same generation that was promised that if you work hard enough you wouldnt have to worry about lay offs in these cushy industries and all of these devs are finding out at the same time that corpos could give less of a shit.
This is an honest to god generational divide by the way. Im sure upbringing and political leanings can warp this but as a zoom zoom I already knew since 2020(before the pandemic mind you) that shit was already going towards a downward spiral and I didnt even bother going for a corporate studio job cause the leaves were already blowing in this direction(didnt know AI was gonna be the big bomb though). I think any smart person COMMIE OR CHUD knows at this point its smarter to just make your own project from scraps and glue then even bother applying to a studio that just had mass layoffs

Because the gravy train is over and they're scared of having to actually find a real job.
Tens of thousands of talentless hacks got paid to sit on their asses and make tiktok videos about their "work".

I'm old enough to remember when the games industry wasn't this bloated and overstaffed and we got banger after banger with much quicker development times.
Now they've got tools that would have been unimaginable for a game dev 30 years ago, with practically turnkey game engines and they still want hundreds of millions and 5+ years to make a mediocre games.
I feel absolutely no sympathy.

The best way to spark up positive buzz is to SHUT THE FUCK UP. Remember Iwata's "Please understand" damage control?. That shit didn't work.

You did this, you set in motion your own replacement. The right wing is conservative, its in the name, "conserve", what did you think it was just going to be some chuds getting replaced? You already pushed them all out, its only you thats left to replace. Progress is you being replaced by better parts, they dont need you, and you fought to ensure that something that works harder for less and doesnt complain will take your job. You have ensured everyone is competing with slaves.

Seriously was the expectation to import legions of workers and for them not to come for their jobs? That shit is a window into their thinking, they think theyre in a rarefied hemisphere of living that others cannot touch, it wasnt suppose to affect them.
