"#Bethesda union members are protesting after being laid off and it's hilarious how out of touch they are "we make great games!" "we make games players love!" "we make games that define generations!" They're even holding signs that say "PLAYERS DESERVE BETTER" and it's like, where was that energy the entire time that corrupt AAA has been taking advantage of gamers by putting out buggy, overpriced, modern audience slop? They were radio silent, but now that they got laid off they're pretending to care about the players" #corrupt #corruption #communism #communist #communists #Marx #Marxism #Marxist #Marxists #socialist #socialism #socialists #DEI #fraud #moneylaundering https://archive.ph/dyknb https://archive.ph/n9Cwa#selection-568.0-571.28 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=is1fS90ERR0 https://archive.ph/iWjsH "Looking at the Bethesda union staff and still arguing it's just the CEO's making your games terrible and the dev's just want to make cool games like you used to get but aren't being allowed to by corporate suits. The higher up's terrible decisions are purely business related, like forcing DLC and carving up content, live service decisions. It's the devs themselves that are giving you the terrible writing, designs, "So I'm non binary" dialog and obnoxious characters. This is them doing stuff they want to do and think is amazing, that is their 'best' Whilst not Bethesda, take Dragon Age as an example. I have no doubt it was the CEO's decision to try to make Dragon Age an online live service game, then pivot back to single player. But it's the devs that gave you everything else you actually ended up despising in #Veilguard. Time restraints from the pivot didn't give you Taash. CEO's didn't take away the writing and characters you used to like in games. Shifting ideology and stricter in-group enforced adherence to the acceptable, more narrow, cult like right think amongst devs in the industry did." https://archive.ph/FqDWe "On July 15, #Bethesda and #ZeniMax employees joined union members outside the company's #Rockville office to protest #Microsoft's latest layoffs. The protest happened after Microsoft cut hundreds of jobs across Bethesda and ZeniMax. The workers are asking for better severance pay, longer healthcare coverage, and the chance for laid-off employees to be rehired if new positions open up." https://archive.ph/VniaZ "How can a game cost $ 250+ million dollars to make?? -Start with the people below -Increase the number of people to 2000+ -Employ them for 3+ years -Pay them enough money to live in the most expensive cities in the world -Pay them to complain about stupid bullshit half the time" https://archive.ph/xcM0K "They are right. The players do deserve better. That's why these commies were let go. When you have subversive elements that's both culturally and ideologically incompatible with the general player base, its no surprise that the product doesn't sell. When it doesn't sell, there isn't enough money to keep these employees. I wanted #Starfield to be better. I was very excited for it and what we got as a completely neutered socially safe game that was boring to no end. It was so bad that not even mods could fix it. Then there is #fallout76, which as a huge fan of the franchise was also a massive disappointment. Good riddance, and hopefully these clowns are black listed and never get to work on games ever again." https://archive.ph/sP8d9 https://archive.ph/okZDV https://archive.ph/MpU0E
