The western video game industry is overwhelmingly left wing. There is no reality in which they collectively admit that their precious DEI is a gigantic and unsustainable net negative for game dev (and, by extension, everything else).
So how does such an industry shed most of its expensive and unproductive DEI hires? By hiding it in mass layoffs. Everyone gets fired because you can’t just fire useless women and minorities.
A lot of these studios could have been saved if it were even remotely possible to remove DEI cancer with targeted firings. But the bosses know that shit won’t fly in California, so everyone had to get the axe.
Not that I care. Almost every “good dev” caught in the fire was a leftist shithead who championed the DEI that ruined his company. They all deserve it.
If you have a resume worth having you'll be fine.
The problem is most of the big companies with $$$ are terminally infected.
Once your company has more than 1 HR person, or some DIE cancer in a leadership position, that person is never going to get fired unless the studio itself closes shop.
