Executives are fast reaching the point where they start rooting around in the couch cushions for some loose workers to lay off. They can only keep doing this for so long before the well’s empty and they need a new way to lie about infinite company growth. They’ll never take that pay cut though.

Huh, didnt realize I neglected to directly quote with this. Time to rectify like a coyote for Coyote Day

Wasn’t expecting to lose my job today but here we are

Small note. Mass layoffs like these are also a tactic to devalue the work because workers become more desperate while companies create false scarcity. Do not, ever, forget your worth. Don’t let them win. You make this industry exist. They don’t.

If you lay off thousands of employees and have billions of dollars in the bank and don't want to spend more of your money on employees, then you're a fucking piece of shit who has no appreciation for the industry and you're further ruining companies with how you decide on how you handle things.

magmuh honey

Fuck layoffs. Stupid fucking industry. "Times are tough" how about *you* foot the bill with your billions of dollars instead of making your employees take the fall every time, mr CEO sir?

Fortnite made $6 billion in revenue last year, Epic raised Vbucks prices, Epic Games Store brought in a 57% increase YOY from game sales in 2025, Disney invested $1.5 billion into Epic, but now they need to lay off 1000 employees? "The layoffs aren't related to AI" Yeah, no, they absolutely are.

Layoffs are not just “how the industry is going” They happen because pieces of shit who care only about themselves are put in positions of power Pieces of shit who have ruined this industry Never forget what these people have done. This industry is devastated, and their bank accounts are bulging

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 24-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 1.2 MILLION people in Denmark found NO LINK between aluminum in childhood vaccines and autism, asthma, OR chronic disorders. Aluminum is an ADJUVANT. It ENHANCES your immune response to a vaccine. That’s it.

Eggman and Dr. Wily are trying to cheat the race! It's up to Sonic and Mega Man to stop them in Something About Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds! youtu.be/0WY7Y_Hierc It was awesome to collaborate with @sonic-official.bsky.social & MegaMan! Thank you so much for this opportunity!

as a culture we have really given "ideas" way too much credit. ideas are a dime a dozen. they happen all the time. the magic is way more in the doing, and the doing's diminished stature is linked to lack of respect for labor and, more recently, skill and expertise.

"bro is this fetish art 😭" anything and everything you will ever interact with is someone's fetish. someone wants to fuck clouds. someone's horniest thought is to be a branch on a tree. someone's going to fuck a salt shaker. someone wants to fuck math. someone did. his name was albert einstein

I have been impacted by the layoffs. After dodging 4 in my career it was bound to happen. The feelings haven't hit yet. Still processing honestly. I have a lot of thoughts and tea that I cannot say of course. If you need a 12 year QA Veteran or a junior designer, let me know I guess.

BREAKING: Epic Games is laying off more than 1,000 workers today, sources tell Bloomberg News. Story hitting shortly

So basically Epic purchased Aquiris, which was iirc the biggest Brazilian game studio at the time, just to let it and its history be vanished from existence, cool

The game industry is so broken right now, it's unbelievable Even the most successful games can cause layoffs

Everybody's trying to be Fortnite and if you don't make a Fortnite then everybody gets laid off, but it ends up even if you do make a Fortnite then everybody gets laid off

This story is completely nuts, as a preliminary search for "dissertation defense" on their site reveals

Theater/opera person, here: this is likely due to "bleed," which is a phenomenon we're literally trained for. When acting (or in this case, role-playing) a character for a good while and there are intense situations (such as an RPG finale), the emotions of the character can literally become yours!
