Pure and utter greed explains the layoffs.
The industry was full of gen X workers earning what they deserved at about 120-150k per person.
Why pay them when you can invent a reason to lay them off and replace them with gen Z programmers who they can pay for 60k per year.
Isarai said, "Their target doesn't exist. "
184.3 billion industry. Up 0.2% from last year says different.
And history forgets the garbage. Shovelware was coined before many gamers were born.
VGChartz looking for the clicks.
We're reviewing DLC now?
Grab it now, there's a new Christmas level.
IGN: "... available now for PC."
Also IGN: "STAR CITIZEN Cloud Imperium TBA PC Wishlist Now"
It's Schrodinger's game. It's simultaneously launched and not launched.
184.3 billion. Up 0.2%.
So the layoffs were pure and utter greed.
They certainly have the money to do so.
"The game has been playable for what 8-9 years by everyone?"
Lie.
It was not a game in 2015 nor 2016. They only "released" an empty version of something in 2017 to avoid being sued.
Don't forget to include countries that don't have internet, or very limited access in order to make the amount of those inaccessible regions seem even more egregious.
Faux anger. A "controversial" game from Sony just recently received a high rating because the "ermegerd free account login bad!" review bombing hype was over.

He's since moved on.
NFL 2K5 had the "Burger King Halftime Show with Chris Berman." There wasn't any pushback because it was integrated into the game seamlessly. But, no one wants popup ads on their games.
I guess of you're going to have advertising in games, make it seem part of the world that is created AND reduce the price of the game.
I'm glad that I'm not the only one who saw that ad that way. I can't tell if they're working on more hardware or if all hardware is "Xbox." Except for Nintendo and Playstation.
It's a Lego game, they're on all platforms. This one was probably delayed due to Horizon being a Sony IP.
If you really want to see things from a gaming animator's perspective go see York Reacts. Phenomena breakdown that will show things that are easily overlooked.
From a Christian standpoint that doesn't make sense. Christmas is about the birth, not the crucifixion. The star that led the three wise men is on top... I know that and I'm not even Christian.
Edit: Wait, did you mean an X? 🤣🤣🤣 I totally misread that if you did.
Happy Holidays and Seasons Greetings are phrases that are over 100 years old.
I love those. But the last one 95 can have any prefix set to it. It doesn't have to mean 1995. It could be 3495 for all we know.
"games these days definitely aren't good"
Maybe it's you. Honestly, think about it. Either every new game is garbage and the industry as a whole is garbage OR it's you.
You sound like the old timers that can't stand today's music, books, styles, language, etc. You're just adding games to the mix.
