Actually “rationalising the pipeline” would be getting rid of all the massively overpaid execs, rather than the people who actually make the Take-Two execs their money
Absolutely sickening. Yeah, we can’t afford you people actually doing the money making and Jeremy’s new yacht. It was a tough decision, i swear
People always say this, but the execs and board members making obscene money for doing as little a possible is the whole point of the endeavor.
Not defending corporations but these massive conglomerates usually get so intricate, so messy, that there are people who end up getting a paycheck that genuinely do not get assignments. In other words, getting paid to watch paint dry. So sometimes the comments that look terrible are directed at people who were doing nothing or very nearly nothing and still getting paid for it.
But yes also fuck executives getting x80 the pay of developers.
Maybe we should rationalize their CEO with an actual pipeline, to use another euphemism…
i wonder how 5% of employees getting laid off will translate into executive bonuses. last year the top 2 guys made $72 million after laying off a bunch of people.
And ofc it’s just to raise their stock a little bit :) Big corpos are real life monsters
This company literally prints money but it’s not good enough without the human suffering.
Yay capitalism. The pursuit of infinite quarterly profit will fuck and enshitify everything we’ve ever known.

I mean, for the first bunch of years PC users won’t have any choice but to emulate
Only reason they’re launching on consoles first is probably because Sony paid for it.
“Fat trim” is the other one I recently heard, and it’s absolutely the worst one I’ve heard so far. Glad they consider humans working their best as “fat”…
Whatever happened to “We’re firing people because we realised we can do the job with fewer workers so we want to save money”?
At least then it’s honest.
Honest would be “We’re firing people to make our short term profits look better. That’s what my bonuses are based on, after all!”.
you’ve never been even remotely close to the cult of management have you?
Losing their jobs through no fault of their own, mind you. Disgusting behaviour by Take-Two just to line their shareholders pockets.
This is business as usual for Rockstar development. Historically they wait until right after they ship, though.
This is such a bad time for me to be trying to get back into the game industry fml
might be better off trying to make the next indie darling.
