the scope of these layoffs feels so overwhelming—that's 1,600 people whose lives are instantly changed and thrown into chaos. i think about how getting laid off impacted my life, then times that by 1,600... it's hard to comprehend.

games have been huge success. thats why we're firing every one who makes games. also we are going to make it so players can no longer buy games

what if the real video games industry was the people who made the games along the way

There's always been something special about holding a game in your hands. A lot of us here first experienced our favorite games through glancing at the box art, scanning the writeup on the back cover, or flipping through the manual.

They can't say it out loud because the answer to how AI is making games faster/better to develop is "we don't have to pay as many wages." But Anna, "AI is just making workers more productive." So are those workers getting a raise? No. Are they continuing to staff up? No. Are the game worse? Yes.
