Media coverage of the gaming industry's constant layoffs are so perplexingly two-faced because they often mention that companies are undergoing "record growth" and then mention the mass-layoffs either a while before or after, while never once tackling the fact that mass layoffs mean a company is not undergoing "record growth", they're choosing to fail so the people at the highest rungs can lie to shareholders.

Imagine if more people just, fact-checked the shit out of them.

It'd be fucking funny watching the shares of big corporations plummet should the shareholders look up news on their investment and see headlines like "Embracer Group Alleges 'Record Growth', Quarterly Report Shows Imminent Collapse" and then adjust the reported earnings while taking into account the average salary of the company's employees that SHOULD be there to showcase how deep in the shit they are were they not constantly jettisoning their developers.
