You don’t respond to trolls. This is one of the earliest rules of the internet.
I’m willing to bet my ass that gamers cheering for the ubisoft layoff will be complaining about the “good old time” of AAA studio in a couple of years. Spoiler: devs are losing their jobs, not executives.
Well they aren’t cheering for the employees who are laid off. It’s more like the Luigi killing of the murderer uhc exec. The people weren’t happy the exec was dead but that the protection they felt as a CEO was broken. Same with Ubisoft they have been behaving badly for so long., EA as well, the gamers just want change for the better and layoffs signal that change
This is true for a lot of people but unfortunately there very much are some targeting the people losing their jobs. I’ve seen plenty of people, even some on Lemmy in the past, who hate individual devs because the game they were looking forward to wasn’t good.
Is it a loud minority? Probably. That doesn’t make it OK, though, and it doesn’t reduce the mental hit to these devs in an already bad moment of their lives.
The thing is, when you side with the anti-woke crowd, you make them feel legitimate. The latest AC game wasn’t even out and gamers were crushing it because “black samurai” and “women”.
Also, people are praising Steam, who has under 100 employees, takes 30% of the price of EVERY GAMES SOLD, and doesn’t let you own you games, but bashing studios (purely greedy capitalist business too, we agree) with thousands of employees who in the end are mostly passionate devs… That doesn’t make much sens to me and sadly, in the end it’s always devs that will pay for executive’s bad decision.
And this is the sad reality of Dev will suffer over executive decisions good or bad. Despite the fact that the industry has responded over and over again, just make good games and the gamers will play. But also sadly make bad games and gamers support that too soooo?
“Gamers” can be pretty terrible people so this tracks.
What kind of asshole celebrates mass layoffs? What the fuck
Morons and children.
The ones being monkeybrained into celebrating ‘poetic justice’ for those they have been trained to perceive as entitled for making $70 games not worth it while being smug about an artistic vision and a ‘reality of the industry’ these dissatisfied customers supposedly don’t get. It’s the same vitriolic nonsense on social media as we see in politics. People’s perspective being pitted against each other without actually facilitated communication.
Yeah, I figure as much. Gross gross gross
So the core video complaint is here
Your $70 Doesn’t Buy You Cruelty

Where I think he makes a crossed point about social media. Attacking a game worker on social media who is just minding their own business isn’t cool, I agree.
However, responding to a game workers taunts on social media is exactly the engagement social media was designed for. That’s why the creatives are there calling their customers toxic to get engagement
Yes, “gamers” are a collection of toxic mudbutt degenerates. They have gotten so bad that I’m cautious about telling anyone I enjoy video games, as I’d hate to be associated with these hateful clowns.
No joke.
I’ve gotten to the point where I just don’t really play anything anymore because of it.
You go ‘boy I’d like to see what new games are coming soon’ and you immediately land in a cesspool of people throwing a fit that there’s a black guy, or a trans girl, or a white chick that doesn’t make their little peepee hard, as well as any other awful sexist, racist, ableist swill you can possibly imagine all over every inch of anything that remotely looks like gaming media or discussion forums.
I just kind of have quit looking, and just playing old games for the 2nd or 3rd time, despite the fact I would happily have bought anything that seems remotely fun a couple of years ago because I don’t want to subject myself to those morons, end up playing games with them, or like, having anyone confuse me as being one of them as you said.
Okay, but do so-called “gamers” actually care about video games? Because most of the time, I don’t see them talking about actual video games that they enjoy.
Jokes on him I spent $0 and I’m laughing at them
What? This is Trump levels of nonsensical.
