Incredible

this is going to be absolutely everywhere pretty soon I'm sure so I'll just link it here so you can all appreciate this CEO trying to do pre-emptive damage control about a kotaku article and manage to damage herself roughly 1000x more in the process

reminder that this studio laid off its entire staff with no notice and no severance after a lengthy unpaid "furlough" that lasted exactly long enough to prevent anyone from jobhunting at GDC

Ah, the mind of someone who can't imagine what it's like to not have a soft cushion to land upon

oh lord you were not underselling it

You think if she actually cared about the people at Crop Circle Games as much as she claims to she could have done something, anything even, to help them transition to studios making games publishers actually want to pay for.

Never trust a person of authority named Strain in Southeast Louisiana.

"I saw a crisis coming but I thought we would be fine" isn't what I'd go with as a defense, but you do you. Neither is "look we successfully ran these studios as pump and dump investment vehicles for years"

Christian Simmers @Xuelder4/5/2024, 1:58 AM

Literally took advantage of Louisiana's Tech and Entertainment Tax credits and didn't hire any local talent.

antimu0n @antimu0n4/5/2024, 2:11 AM

this is one of them "the closer you look the worse it gets" type situations isn't it

Spampuke @Daav4/5/2024, 2:26 AM

Goddamn what a setup. A real Kevin Spacey defence.

That went really fast from "no one can prove Kotaku isn't planning to write about my medical condition" to "how dare Kotaku write about my medical condition"
