Hopefully that's the start, we need ALL foreign game companies to only be based in country of origin as when they start being international, that's when the parasites slink in..
You can sell internationally but you shouldn't spread out since it's easy to fall for the 'we need to change to adapt to the new environment' lie.
If they had any balls whatsoever they would simply fire these people for unprofessionalism. I would do the same if it was some weirdo trying to turn subtitles into comments about god and preaching to people and would make that point if they whined about it and tried to sue. I'm very much reminded of the guild wars 2 writer that picked a fight with the playerbase and tried to play the victim, it's the exact same mentality, they know what they're doing.
That would be the 'gigachad' way but unfortunately it requires you to be Elon, put your dick on the table with the amount of money you have and a personality where you can tell most of them to fuck off
The lesser version is blaming the times to do strategic layoffs. Yes it's more cowardly but you're still getting rid of them. The biggest aim should be to ditch them all even if you pull a Telsa and build a whole new factory to give a leftist state nothing.
Believe it or not it really doesn't, you just need to have the conviction to deal with the inevitable leftist tactics. What's really noticeable to me is even the rare few little guys that resist the left are often able to power though it because in reality the left never comes across people who fight back against them in earnest even on the right. Once they get through that initial bullshit they end up quickly making a name for themselves.
The issue tends to be when you've got the weak willed autistic nerds who end up being struggle sessioned by the left into submission. They're used to getting picked on so they often tend to be the ones that capitulate the most.
I meant my statement in terms of bigger companies and studios, indies have WAY more freedom in this regard that so long as they take precautions like avoid easily being doxed you're pretty much good.
2024 is looking to be a layoff-heavy year, and organizing may be the only way for developers fight for their rights.
First, Bidenomics and you get what you vote for.
Second, you are not owed a job in your chosen field.
Third, if you did not make miserable, unplayable shit filled to the brim with dumbass politics and personal agendas, maybe, just maybe, the consumer would buy it and you would not be feelind the squeeze right now.
It's worth noting as well many of these employees are going to be the same entitled twat tech millennials that we've seen posting about their lives at Google and Twitter. The difference is they will have had the sense to keep a lid on their private lives but I think it's safe to assume they're company bloat acting uppity.
I and others have suggested that the puff pieces over the last month from Sega's and Bandai's diversity departments where they proclaimed total ownership and control of those companies' content output, was them posturing for strength. They wanted to attach shame to the concept of firing them because they had spoken with such an official voice so recently.
What they don't realize, because frankly they are too detached from the real world to understand anything, is that they have handed their companies a free win by laying them off after the public embarrassments associated with their unforced brand damage.
Let's hope those companies take the golden opportunity of: balancing their budgets, cutting loose the employees literally running in the opposite direction of profit, and pivot their image with the public by proudly saying so.

Ah yes that's true because they've also got to keep up investor relations and such in that regard and they're scared of negative press.

CNBC just explained that today's jobs numbers prove the economy is roaring.
How many of those "jobs" are government make-work designed to cook GDP and unemployment?
Probably about 150%

A man can dream.
Wow that was faster than I anticipated, the virtue signalling is them being desperate and trying to attract a market that doesn't exist.
Unionization is likely one of the causes of the layoffs.
One mafia taking on another? This should be fun.
