    So let me get this straight, the developers make a game, and then immediately mgmt lays everyone off so that they can reap the rewards? The developers should be getting their piece of the pie as they are the ones that made this happen.

    It’s time to unionize, or you’re going to be permanently railroaded. We’re letting the corporate world do this to us. IN EVERY SINGLE FUCKING OCCUPATION!

    We get paid penny’s on the dollar compared to upper management. Do you think they work harder than you? It’s time to tip the scales in the direction of the worker. We need a General Strike, or we will NEVER be comfortable again. It will only get worse.
