I've had this happen to me before. Go in to work one day to find chains on the doors. It sucks. As long serving employee you can´t fired that fast and easy in some (mostly european) countries. I'm technically government employed, and while the pay is pretty sad, I'd have to work hard to get fired. Am also european.

Sadly, there are all too many examples within this industry of people learning via social media that they’ve lost their jobs. And the worst part is that nowadays those bullshit farewell statements are written by AI.

Alex Van Aken: "There are still people on staff who don't know what's happening yet there's a tweet that someone higher up posted spilling the news. I'll have some stuff to say later today, but yes, everyone at Game Informer was laid off about an hour ago."
Ben Hanson: "m furious about the end of Game Informer. It was an incredible 33-year run and then GameStop pumps out this phony/empty farewell message. I'd bet money it was written by AI. Fuck you, GameStop and a huge fuck you to Ryan Cohen.
Jesus Christ this should be illegal. Well in some countries it is.
I've had this happen to me before. Go in to work one day to find chains on the doors. It sucks. Sounds absolutely awful, not to mention how cowardly and disrespectful this is towards the employees.

Well, shit. Is it beneficial to the company to lay off their workforce suddenly without previous communications that this may be happening? I'm somehow imagining they aren't expected to pay these people, I'm not sure what the correct term would be, severance package?

By the way if you guys want to read some Game Informer about Veilguard (again) well bad luck its likely forever gone. Carolyn Petit: "Absolutely evil, to destroy such a vast, historical archive of work immediately, giving the people who created it no chance at all to access it or back it up, much less let it remain online for readers to visit in the future." Alex Van Aken: "We can’t access the website to backup our years of work. It’s just a landing page now." x.com/carolynmichelle/status/1819430823118229653(Edited for political reference.

More reasons this digital and corporate era is crashing… I hate reading articles online, especially since most are dogshit click bait and now one of the last bastions in the magazine era is gone. With the scourge of digital entertainment being censored with no recourse and add to that the corporate fuckery of not informing your workers and further fanning the flames of anti corporation bullshit and it’s just a powder keg of frustration waiting to explode.
Can I get off this ride now?

That's okay, you probably have political opinions more to Sofa's liking, so its cool to say them

Can I get off this ride now? It's been on a downward slide for a couple of years now. But the suddenness here is a bit alarming. The digital side has spiraled so bad physical media is rebounding almost universally at this point. Vinyl was the exception for years then suddenly tapes and CDs surged, then delistings in games and movies are causing discs to become desirable in mediums once thought digital only was inevitable. And corporate douchery… well, let’s just say corporations have lost support outside of the incestual glad handing realm. One used to be able to try and defend it on some level, but layoff stories like this and continued piss poor customer and employee care has ended that. I used to be a defender but 10 years in that world and seeing the shits they do not give was soul crushing.

That's okay, you probably have political opinions more to Sofa's liking, so its cool to say them No its not ok because my post had been altered even as an european who can´t vote at this election at all that was already too much. I personal disagree with that but i don´t want to break the forum rules but let say this GameStop CEO even without his poticial views he is very weird but not in a good way person. For those who are further interested in this you can easy find this for yourselves.

Politics are, I believe, against the forum rules so it shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone if the thread gets cleaned up. GameStop/GameInformer is probably fine, but perhaps political views are best discussed elsewhere. I somewhat agree but in this case i more disagree the political views of this GameStop CEO are even more extreme and has a bitter taste in hindsight after this termination more than usual. By the way i doubt (but i am more happy to be wrong) the forum has a similiar view on more obsure political figures in Europe or somewhere else. But i get it the US and its politics are of course on another level. By the way i am somewhat surprised that the firings didn´t happened at the last day on the month. So that´s something i guess but getting fired at a Friday is still terrible.

It is odd that China of all places manages to create a conventionally attractive black woman with dreadlocks but here in the West they are all depicted as hyper-masculine with hard faces and no curves. It’s a racket I tell ya. Will this do for a conventionally attractive black woman with dreadlocks? Same game as that tank char with blue lipstick. Or does 'conventionally attractive' require a specific bust/waist/hip measurements and a catsuit?

It’s a racket I tell ya. Will this do for a conventionally attractive black woman with dreadlocks? Mannish face, poorly modeled dreads, awful colors and wtf is she wearing? A torn overcoat? Is this suppose to be her ghillie suit? That character is not conventionally nor aesthetically pleasing. Of course, she looks awful too. A space marine with lipstick, it clashes badly and makes her look like a clown. In this anime promotion, it makes her look like she has a goatee. I like obvious primary as well as secondary sexual characteristics and I’m for skintight outfits for both sexes. Nice try though.
That being said, here's an example of what I consider to be conventionally attractive:
Somehow, the Japanese have found a way to make women look even more attractive by giving them more clothes and not turning them into ogres.

I've said it before - and this will be the last time before I just start removing posts and issuing sanctions...
If you want to discuss how video game women don't do it for you anymore and how it is all a vast, woke conspiracy, do so somewhere else on the internet.
