  Big publishers might as well tell studios to end themselves when they‘re handing out these kinda projects, set up for failure IMO

  In the modern game industry, you get hit with layoffs even if you do well so it doesn’t really matter what the quality of your product is in the end… You still get laid off.

  indulged in. When a company does not pay off the upper tier, they are indulging in layoffs.

  “Hit with” implies an unavoidable, tragic, and forced event. They knew this would happen months ago when KTJL face planted. Videogame companies complain about the “cost of making games” but they’re the fucks what spent the money. Maybe spend less on your marketing and budget, and when a game doesn’t sell well it isn’t a cataclysmic event that sinks the whole company.

  But really, if game companies weren’t constantly at risk to have implosions from bad decisions, the board wouldn’t get their “please don’t leave us” money. So really this always comes back to - fuck the management, and the board. Videogames are treated as products so here we are.
