Lots of morons believe it's a mass exodus of getting rid of the woke in video games from gamers rising up and demanding it stop, particularly targeting Sweet Baby Inc. in particular

In reality it's just corporate greed and traditional capitalism tactics.

While that's true I'm sure it's also highly influenced by the pandemic induced at home entertainment bubble bursting

That's literally all it is. These layoffs make quarterly reports look better and that's what really matters at the end of the day.

All the money goes to the investors at the very top.

Normal people work long hours to chase their dream of owning a home and having a family but they will never actually get the carrot on the stick.

Its like the matrix, we are slaves and we don't even know it.

Tech industry will be the first to incorporate AI. It'll trickle down to other branches of our economy later.

when you start a new project, you don't need a full team. when you're upkeeping an old game, you don't need a full team. you only need a full team when a project is more than halfway and up to release.

sony isn't going to pay the salary of thousands of people that are sitting idle waiting for the next assignment. they're going to lay them off and save money.

also because they're greedy little shits.
