Inhuman. I can’t believe how they would fire everybody without telling them what’s going on, just shutting off all their accounts and leaving them hanging.
I’m amazed they’d layoff ESO workers, it’s been a Zenimax cashcow for years.
microsoft set fire to all their money with the help of OpenAI
But it could be a bigger cash cow if we didnt have to pay people money. Better to apply for some h1-b visas and get some proper slaves like we had back in the day.
Maybe in other industries but that strategy has never translated well in Gaming.
Longterm is for suckers - nu management is fast and loose - they break things - preferable good work environment.
Being a cashcow isn’t enough in this day and age unfortunately
How do we live in a world where being a major financial boon for your company isn’t enough, this is bullshit.
