Yeah you can't tell anybody on this site that you pulled some data from AI. Even if you followed the link and found the actual report and the numbers matched up you'll still get down voted into oblivion.
The mass layoffs are definitely pure greed. At one point they served a purpose of ebb and flow and separating the wheat from the chaff, but things aren't that healthy anymore.
Crunch time was great when it came with the bonuses and liberal vacation.
But now, anything that's worth a damn gets bought up into large public companies who need to satisfy shareholders. Even the private stuff is still subject to the whims of the executives. There are still some good places to land out there but they're slowly getting trashed over time.
Meh. I would rather trick people into showing their asses over the most trivial of things. Bonus points for actually pseudo-sourcing data.
And yeah. Just depressing that everyone becomes an 80s movie caricature the moment someone is criticizing THE VIDEO GAMEZ!!!! Fuck labor if it gets us The Last Of Us 3, right?
Ehh, still mostly beats the hell out of working enterprise health insurance. At least game developer unions are slowly becoming a thing.
