Man. Bloody corporates. You can bet your ass it won’t be any of the higher ups being let go.
Not disputing your main point, but they fired CEO John Riccitiello over this.
“fired” is a bit of a strong word for stuffing his ass so full of money it spewing out was what ejected him from the building.
They did but unfortunately the idiots that thought hiring him was a good idea are still there

Translation: the higher ups fucked up because they’re so disconnected with their own product, so now they are making their employees pay for their mistakes in order to keep their bosses salaries and bonuses intact.
They were lead by a former EA CEO. It went as expcected.
how many millions of bonuses did the higher ups accept to get to this point
Is anyone believing they would not have layoffs anyway? They are likely just trying to pin their cost-cutting plans on game devs who protested against their ridiculous scheme. Comes to mind that the money their clients were already paying is the money that would have paid for those employees’ wages.
While I hope all the code monkeys land on their feet, fuck Unity with a cactus, sideways.

Plan A was to rip off all of their users and Plan B seems to be to downsize. I wonder if it’ll be enough to right the ship…
