    Actually kind of upset that if it had to happen to a game it would be the Jump Force models.
    what, you don't want to see Goku get fucked in the ass by Luffy in 4K?

    Please show some respect, everyone.

    It's Hump Force.

    How do you approach someone, or a small group of people, who are willing to take a 60 million dollar payout while firing hundreds of people

    Isn't it accurate, at a certain point, to call that evil? It's not a crime, but shouldn't it, in fact, be a crime? Isn't hurting countless people to enrich yourself clearly morally repulsive? Is it not a crime on a far greater scale than say, mugging someone? Why is punching one person in the face and taking a hundred bucks off them a crime, but this isn't? Is the face punch the important part? Is physical violence that much more criminal than social and economic violence? Why? Does one measurably do more harm than the other? Shouldn't we say to someone who does something this foul "You are going to prison, and we are taking all of your money. You should have know that this was wrong. There is no defense for this action. You are an evil person and should be put somewhere where you cannot continue to be evil"

    the non-guillotine solution here is to organize the games industry and strike companies like EA and Activision into the fucking dirt

    So let me get this straight.

    You have your best quarter ever... and respond by laying off 800 people.

    So the guy's just straight gutting the company to line his pockets more?

    this is how most big companies work

    labor is their biggest cost, cutting that looks good for stockholders and might lead to buybacks, which is something that stockholders always want, because stockholders are collectively dumb as hell

    anyone who's lived north of Seattle knows this story, Boeing pulls that shit every few years

    That story gets more revolting the longer it goes on. Quadruple the layoffs, more money for the top! I can't even cynically chuckle at this anymore

    "Cash" on a balance sheet is complicated. My bet is that their overall position hasn't changed that much but the difference is magnified by some large transaction(s). Did they buy any studios in Q4 '17? That would explain them temporarily having very little cash on hand.

    the good news is that the AAA game cycle is likely facing an imminent collapse because the development cycle combined with costs and this sort of behavior isn't fucking sustainable
