    Nothing is more capitalistic than laying off your workers to get passable Q4 values. Absolutely disgusting.

    How effective is a strike when everyone is getting laid off anyways?

      Don’t Nod obviously employs more than the 69 people that are at stake. It would be called a foreclosure instead of a restructuring if it wasn’t the case

      Ideally if you fired striking workers the NLRB would get involved. Not so sure anymore.

    Late-stage capitalism (specifically public companies) are rather incompatible with singleplayer or “one-off” games that don’t have a long revenue tail of a live season or multiple DLCs/expansions. That really sucks for the whole games industry, players and developers alike.

    Turns out they do actually “nod” (to their corporate overlords)
