Hooray: ****** gamedevs being fired thread

I wouldn't trust a modern game dev to drive an uber I'm in, though. lel

I wouldn't feel safe nor respected in an Uber driven by an ex-game dev woman or ******. They'd probably start ranting about chuds and start pointing fingers at me.

They couldn’t suck dicks at truck stops let alone operate a motorized vehicle.

I get the feeling a lot of them would still prefer that to driving an uber.

IRL, most of the problems en-route in an Uber are caused by the "liberal" women/****** passengers.

seems like a typical out of touch rich ***.

I know it's funny when he says something like this about gamedevs cuz gamedevs are useless, but he would've said the same about the normal people getting fired as well.

Well, of course.

Are there normal people working at Sony?

The secret is that they deserve it too.

Microsoft will lay off approximately 650 people from its gaming team, the company’s head of gaming, Phil Spencer, told employees in an email to team members this morning.

Spencer framed them in the context of Microsoft’s October 2023 $69 billion purchase of Activision Blizzard.

“As part of aligning our post-acquisition team structure and managing our business, we have made the decision to eliminate approximately 650 roles across Microsoft Gaming—mostly corporate and supporting functions—to organize our business for long term success,” Spencer wrote.

The majority of the cuts will impact people in those corporate and support roles at Activision Blizzard, according to a source familiar with the matter.

Those cuts also included the cancellation of at least one game project at Blizzard.

The rape train has no brakes.

[KnightoftheWind]

Doesn't look like they'll be recouping that $69 Billion any time soon, let alone make a profit. This is just the beginning though, wait until Fable and Perfect Dark flop.

[J1M]

I want to know what kind of mobile slop they cancelled. It wasn't the pokemon clone, that was scrapped a long time ago.

And yet, for some reason, they still haven't sacked 343.

IIRC, they've pretty much replaced most of management. Granted, it's years too late and won't revive Halo.

These are the same sonsofbitches who vote for more immigration, and believed ai would take my job and destroy me.

They published Edith Finch, Gone Homo, Kentucky Route Zero, Stray and 20 other such titles. I'm in awe at the sheer quantity of coal that's been made with their backing in just the 8 years.

[KnightoftheWind]

Of course a company that publishes "art house" slop would have some pretentious ****** name, as if to sound foreign and sophisticated (lol).

And of those only Stray is of any use at all. Mostly because there are no women in it. And yet they still shove a political message into it.

Are Nepalese people pajeets? Annapurna is a mountain in the gandaki province in north-central Nepal.

They are slightly lighter skinned and slightly more attractive (the women). They can pass for Latino. They are still ugly subhumand

tbh I have never heard anything negative about nepalese people ( and they are no pajeets or pakis) so they are ok in my book.

No, these are not the 650 that were reported previously, and yes, MicroSoft is firing another 650 on top of the previous 650, within the span of a week.

None of whom are actual code or graphics developers.
Just various management and "support" personnel.

Nah, that's not how it works. They always fire the most essential personnel first. The last ones to be fired are "support staff" like the HR department. Those who are never fired are the management.

In a normal company, yes.
But I've been tracking the layoffs in gaming.
They're not losing actual workers, mostly.
They're dumping the worthless bloat, like Elon did at Twitter.
