I have optimism most will find good work as video games make growing sales while corporate shells are convulsing and AI promises turn up empty.

What did EA actually do? I don’t get it.

They’re like Larry Ellison in that they continually destroy and somehow make money off it.

Hire a bunch of staff with bare-minimum contracts. Wait until lucrative products have been made, shit-can the workers without a severance package, keep all of the profits and divvy them out as CEO bonus packages to the tune of multiple hundred thousand dollars. Hire more wage slaves, repeat.

In 2 months they are going to say that they are going to rely on AI to do everything, but they won't replace devs with it
