This was always the end goal.

Oh come now, they didn’t “lose.” A Trump appointed judge dismissed the case, which Disney would have anticipated and which they will have a response for, and the case will continue. A case being dismissed due to a lack of standing means that it wasn’t even considered on its merits, so Disney in no way “lost.” The…

I mean, this is the company that is laying off 2,000 people while simultaneously giving Bobby ~Fucking~ Kotick a gigantic golden parachute of $400 million.

How shitty do you have to be as a company, to not allow people to redeem their fairly earned game time codes *after* they’ve been laid off too?
As shitty as Blizzard, apparently.

Doesn’t look like anything to me.

Indeed. And notice how those digital games still cost that $60/70, even though they don’t have that cost of producing a box or disc.

Capitalism truly shines when the base needs of the citizens are met (housing, and food) to where you don’t have to necessarily save for a rainy day all the time. Well that’s the theory anyways, it’s an issue that has alot of moving parts to come together and work.

Now people are blaming the layoffs on "sjws"? God. Please get media literate, and realize that not every single problem in the universe is caused by "The SJWs"

Do you blame political activists when the barista gets your order wrong at Starbucks too?

I don’t disagree, but that’s endemic of corporate culture in general and not primarily the video game industry. Video game and tech companies are standing out because they swelled their ranks during the pandemic, when everybody and their mother were shoving all their luxury money on stuff that could be used during…

Funny how it isn’t the corpo pieces of shits who decided it would totally be cool to jack up the prices to use their stuff aren’t in the chopping block.

“long-term success and profitability”

They’re really working hard to build back the goodwill they destroyed a few months back, huh?

bet execs are taking pay cuts, and the company decided against a dividend...right?  Thats how it goes, shitty results are paid for by management and ownership right?

I wonder if women get briefed by developers/publishers when they’re hired to act or model for a game, if they’re at all made aware of what will happen in social media as a consequence of being hired. I wonder if, whoever will end up being cast as Abby in HBO’s adaptation of The Last of Us, she will be made aware that,…

Funnily enough, I’ve just started buying physical media again the last few months. Well, at least my favorites. The last thing I’d want is for a streaming service to decide randomly to stop having what I want.

Bad idea when people are finally starting to realize your favorite media can forever disappear on the whims of random CEOs

Time to hoist the colors.

If you thought we were leaving AI discourse behind in 2023, I’m sorry to tell you that you were very, very wrong.

I mean...you saw how he doubled down on NFTs after the bottom dropped out.
