  • It's not jobless, it's time to go to the beach.

    From JAB@21:1/5 to All on Mon Sep 23 20:58:07 2024
    So this is a good explanation of why part of the games industry really
    sucks. The ex-CEO of Sony (Chris Deering) has explained the multitude of lay-offs aren't anything to do with greed but instead people should just
    find somewhere cheaper to live and spend a year at the beach. Think of
    it a bit bit like COVID, you know that one were lots of people were
    dying, inconvenient yes but nothing to worry about.

    Of course as always it's not the higher-ups who face the harsh realities
    of what it means to be jobless but those who actually do the work. Oh we
    fecked up with a game so to balance the books, and my bonus, we'll just
    sack some people.

    What a complete see you next Tuesday this guy is.
