       I wonder how many people in gaming and tech wouldn’t have to deal with layoffs if the people in charge knew what they were doing, and didn’t just chase the latest fad (eg GenAI aka PISS, live service games), emptying sackfuls of money directly into the toilet just because all of their equally clueless C-suite friends think it’s a great idea

       @sinbad mixed results, I think. If the C suite had more clue, they’d be fewer layoffs yes. But also, there would not have been crazy over-hiring pre-2021-or-so. Even with all the drastic layoffs, the industry is still larger than in 2018.
