The 1% own even more stock than they own outright money. You could replace “the economy” in every article with “rich people’s yacht money”. The stock market is 100% dissociated from reality and shouldn’t be used as a measure of general wealth by any means.
Not to mention that studios like Larian have proven that it’s entirely possible to make a blockbuster game without teams of 400 heads, changing direction and leadership every few years and laying off the people who made the product in the first place. They really seethed at that one, so many salty comments lol.
Ah man I hate being just old enough to remember the stories about what the alternative is like. I suppose youth have the excuse of ignorance, but still.
Imagine if the CEO who laid you off was also your psychologist/therapist who you have to turn to. What in the actual fuck is wrong with these people.
As you already correctly pointed out, fiat money is almost as bad as digital currency for largely the same reasons.
There’s gold, silver, and everything else is credit.
People fall out of windows all the time, even if they have billions. Clearly, not all of them are aligned.
I sometimes deliberately leave them to sit in the open for a day or so. Makes them less crunchy.
Not gamedev but other software, going through the exact same thing (new, external CEO). Guess the axeman cometh for us all eventually.
I did, but long ago. Problem is when you’re taking ssri’s/snri’s, especially in large doses, mushrooms lose their effect. Taking psylocibin on these meds doesn’t do anything, you don’t even get visuals anymore, only a mild euphoria at best.
I’ve been depressed for three decades and nothing I’ve tried so far has worked, but I’ll be stone cold dead before they put fucking chips in my brain. /oldmanyellsatcloud.jpg
80K? That’s, what, a party favor’s worth of bribes? Most members of this administration wouldn’t even get out of bed for such a paltry sum.
The fact that all of our freedoms and rights were for sale is bad enough, but if you see the absolute bottom prices that were paid, it’s a hundred times worse still.
Low ball, rookie numbers! I say we go for 90%, including the added costs of re-hiring previous staff or training new ones.
So less cheaters and griefers in online lobbies? Rare Putin W.
Not necessarily the users, per sé, but the corporations who refuse to learn from mistakes.
And the enshittification continues unabated.
My hope remains that some vestiges of the rule of law remain and all these people so wronged by this system will eventually have their day in court, and get restitution.
It’s a tiny hope, since I’m reluctant to believe the above will eventually happen, but I’ll hold on to it just the same.
I low key assume this means the next strike will be using tactical nukes. This is bad news folks.
Honestly I think it’s too late. The groups you’re up against are all armed to the teeth with military gear and zero accountability. The time for (reserved) violence was months ago. Right now your choice is to take it up the ass or gtfo.
Much worse. This time it’s going to be permanent.
