Twitter/X is still standing. Turns out a ton of their employees weren't actually needed. Every other tech company has seen this. Every other tech company is laying off 10% of their staff and doing better. That's the definition of a industry crash
And it's fine
>That's the definition of a industry crash
I don't think that's a crash, tech companies (including video game companies) are simply bloated with unskilled staff that was only hired back when the company was more prosperous and they hired a bunch of morons for social credit, corporate boasting and ESG points.
The whole corporate meta was to pozzmaxx for about 15 years and people are sick of being preached to by morons hired to be paraded around by their corporate masters like some priced house-Black person
>every other video game company is having massive layoffs >Nintendo is building a second HQ to double its capacity of employees
What do they know that everyone else doesn't
yay another clickbait thread.
you people must be the main bandwidth users of those sites. thanks for your contribution. without you the blogsites wouldn't stay alive

I understand that getting laid off sucks. I've tried it myself. But do people just expect to never ever have to change jobs except when it is advantegeous to themselves? What are companies supposed to do with workers on salary and nothing for them to do?
>fire all talented people >pay indians the bare minimum to deliver AAA assets >interns will put all that shit together over the course of half a decade >game sells gorillion of copies anyway because it's an old and popular IP >even if it doesn't sell like hotcakes in the first week the mobile gaming division will pay the bills
People ARE just an expense. Soon corporations will replace indians with AI and homosexuals will keep buying all those games anyway.
In that case the old hats can make a studio without interference from their moronic bosses and make something that puts to shame what the street shitters will be forced to make
And when they go bust they'll get bailed out by the feds. And the sheeple will at most bah quasi-loudly for a moment or two, then go back to grazing like the good little barn animals they are 🙂
The industry is to big to crash right now, if anything it will shrink in scope due to all the studios making trash and failing, cause for every high profile flop, you have another making billions, or some surprise hit that comes out of nowhere.
Its even happening with movies, huge, hyped high profile failing horribly, meanwhile the FNAF movie breaks records on a tiny ass budget.
Also this.
Making endless woke trash that nobody wants to play, this kind of "crash" is deserved.
They'd rather force the product to change and then cram it down the consumer's throat
Look at how they still b***h and moan and try to frick with Jap studios who are more susptible to their shit
And mind you, chinkshit isn't the answer and neither is gatchatrash. Yes it's got cute girls and such, but it's a different form of customer abuse.
By "the industry" they mean their friends in the America movie game circle. Games from the east seem to be doing fine, but narcissistic freaks consider themselves the center of the universe.

No one needed sjws in every department. This culling only removes the weakest ones who can't sacrifice and backstab others to stay in power. The ones that remain will nosedive the industry even faster.
The video game industry as we know it is dying and you are all just celebrating! Say goodbye to $100 million budgeted AAA games, Hollywood actors starring in big games, and games with 10 years worth of content. Enjoy low budget indie and AA games taking over the industry, morons.
but who will pet the doggo, hang in the cafeteria and protect trance poc bodies from oppression now?
this industry NEEDS social equity warriors more than they need developers!!
They’re expendable because game devs are the bottom of the barrel in the tech world. They’re literally the C students who couldn’t get hired on in real career fields like cyber, AI, banking, etc… so of course they don’t matter… they’re the tech equivalent of fast food workers.
delete corporate "culture" and you'd be surprised how much better things gets when it's passionate people doing projects because they believe in an idea and not suits climbing the israelite ladder looking at market trends
A lot of the free gibs are drying up, so naturally all these DIE departments are going to get cut off (they never mention what the percentage are those of HR, PR, etc.).
Havn't like every single tech corporation fired a shit ton of people when they realized that all the HR and marketing people didn't do jackshit? Same with coders and everything else.
I mean just go to any thread on Ganker about working and it will be filled with people working in offices or doing WFH and say they do 2h of work each week and then do jackshit.
>Ganker hypes up happenings and layoffs every second day >Everything is still the same and code monkeys still get paid six figures to jerk off at home while I'm not even making rent on my waiter salary
remember how all manufacturing got outsources to china? now all digital labor is getting outsourced to india.
my advice? long bharat. imagine investing in chinks in the 90s, you'd be fricking rich. invest in bharat and help elevate them to sapience. perhaps with your investment they may finally be able to poo in loo
That's due to the endless revolving door gaming development has become, they don't let people learn the tools they're suing before kicking them out the door, its why almost every UE5 game runs like absolute shit.
Good. It'll crash, people will realize there's a problem, and then it'll bounce back.
I do my part: I stopped telling people I play games and call those that do losers. I only tell people I'm a gamer if they're a man, like my friend I played SC2 with
Good
Hallejuah.
No it's not

not my problem, I have 40+ years of videogames to play

Oh nooooo. How terrible. The absolute tragedy.
Don't care, I won't support the industry anymore anyway
I'm sure all those smart and creative people will create there own studios and make ballen game fr fr
Modern gaming is trash, I'd be fine with a permanent collapse
i have enough old games for the rest of my life
I wish but it won't happen.
>Another industry crash is coming.
Don't get my hopes up, homosexual.
And then Nintendo will save us all again
>every other video game company is having massive layoffs
>Nintendo is building a second HQ to double its capacity of employees
What do they know that everyone else doesn't
How to make good games
I guess they don’t spend as much cash making games as western companies.
yay another clickbait thread.
you people must be the main bandwidth users of those sites. thanks for your contribution. without you the blogsites wouldn't stay alive
Goodbye
hopefully many of the laid off never find a job again in the industry, especially the saint row devs
>join company

not the video game industry
society is doomed
aaaa

let's celebrate bois
>mfw sleeping knowing about mass lay-offs
I'm unemployed too, how nice
who the frick is going to make the diverse AAA battle pass, MTX trendchasers now?!?
NOT MY PROBLEM
CLEAN IT UP BOB NIGER CEO OF GROOMERS
oh no
anyway
Burn, baby, burn.
People getting laid off are the good senior devs, they are getting replaced with moronic indians so every company can be as shit as ubisoft.
Why pay 800k to some senior dev when you can pay 18k to some pajeet, and just as many (if not more) people will buy the game anyway.
>replaced with moronic indians
Don't worry, they will be replaced with AI eventually.
In that case the old hats can make a studio without interference from their moronic bosses and make something that puts to shame what the street shitters will be forced to make
>they don't necessarily care about the human impact
YOU DIDN'T CARE ABOUT THE HUMAN IMPACT WHEN YOU MADE THE WOKE HORSESHIT THAT CRASHED THE INDUSTRY
FRICKING CHYNA BING BING WAHOO IS MAKING BANK
WHAT THE FRICK ARE YOU DOING YOU PIECES OF SHITE???
MOVIE INDUSTRY: DEAD
GAMES INDUSTRY: DYING
GET YOUR FRICKING HEADS OUT OF YOUR RECTUMS PRONTO OR LOSE YOUR FRICKING JOBS YOU moronic FRICKS
They'd rather go bust. They're driven by ideology.
And when they go bust they'll get bailed out by the feds. And the sheeple will at most bah quasi-loudly for a moment or two, then go back to grazing like the good little barn animals they are 🙂

it's planned my friend. vidya is one way the white man escapes from the israelite hell hole.
they'll simply stop making them and tell you they were never profitable. marry a negress to fill your time instead.
REPEAT AFTER ME!
TOTAL israelite GENOCIDE TODAY!
NO MORE WAITING ALL israeliteS DEAD NOW
Even if the mainstream industry crashes (good riddance) small indies will still make games for me to escape with.
You have to go back
>stop noticing
SHUT IT DOWN
Black person
you have to find at least one argument in your empty, worthless brain
Escapism is probably the only reason most western countries don't have revolutions right now.
>take away pressure release valve
>suddenly most (able bodied) people want ~~*them*~~ dead
Classic move from funny hats
i aint gonna lie the trannies are probably responsible for 50% of backend development
trannies are a plot to get 50% of backend developers to kill themselves
Noooo Mr. Goldberg, think of all the poor talented full sail university graduates, marketing majors and diversity hires!
I'm glad it's over.
>Western games dying
Good

das rite
I hope this ends up happening next year so we have a complete reset and video games never recover
god i wish
hope the blue-hairs enjoy stocking shelves on the graveyard shift at walmart with all the nigs and working at the amazon gulags.
but who will pet the doggo, hang in the cafeteria and protect trance poc bodies from oppression now?

This is /misc/'s fault
It’s the israelites
Actual layoffs, or just the "a day in the life of a Blizzard employee"/social media managers/DEI officers.
A lot of the free gibs are drying up, so naturally all these DIE departments are going to get cut off (they never mention what the percentage are those of HR, PR, etc.).
I wonder if all the diversity departments are finally getting closed down.
Havn't like every single tech corporation fired a shit ton of people when they realized that all the HR and marketing people didn't do jackshit? Same with coders and everything else.
I mean just go to any thread on Ganker about working and it will be filled with people working in offices or doing WFH and say they do 2h of work each week and then do jackshit.
>Ganker hypes up happenings and layoffs every second day

Shouldn’t have fricked off in school, Champ… maybe you wouldn’t be serving me food like a b***h boy.
Better luck next life, Chud.
You chose to be poor
I'm here to say I fricking called it months ago. Anons that know, know
remember how all manufacturing got outsources to china? now all digital labor is getting outsourced to india.
my advice? long bharat. imagine investing in chinks in the 90s, you'd be fricking rich. invest in bharat and help elevate them to sapience. perhaps with your investment they may finally be able to poo in loo
just trimming the fat. They wouldn't get rid of anybody they need. Only the useless trash.
Being a coder is even a lower standing job than a burger flipper now
You can't burger flip your way into a millionaire though, but you can code your own software/website/game and become a millionaire.
You can if you flip your own burgers
The industry has a competence crisis
The whole world does
Turns out trying to stop and start the world economy on a dime was utterly moronic
That's due to the endless revolving door gaming development has become, they don't let people learn the tools they're suing before kicking them out the door, its why almost every UE5 game runs like absolute shit.
AAA gaming has become a bloated zombie. Nintendo will be fine.
my entire life has apparently been a crisis
let the big studios burn, i had more fun playing OG Half Life Deathmatch anyway
It's already here. If mass layoff in every big company isn't the crash then what is?
That's just cutting useless staff, the crash is when the companies go bankrupt
>L2C gays
In shambles
Thank Gaben
Good. It'll crash, people will realize there's a problem, and then it'll bounce back.
I do my part: I stopped telling people I play games and call those that do losers. I only tell people I'm a gamer if they're a man, like my friend I played SC2 with
>I stopped telling people I play games and call those that do losers.
Well…. They are losers.
Its called trimming the fat
Once all diversity hires get removed studios would became profittable again
