Industry's so fucked, man. Doesn't matter how well you do critically or commercially. What scale you're working at. There's a rot in the business.
corp executives are irredeemable and ontologically evil as a class

I'm a Vietnamese cis woman born and currently living in the U.S. You may know me from Sandwich, from Twitter or Mastodon (same username), or on Twitch as Sharkaeopteryx. I do not have a Discord or Bluesky account.
Ask me about language learning/teaching, cooking/eating food, late diagnosis ADHD, and volunteer small business mentoring. Or don't, I'm not the boss of you.
I think people deserve to be young, make mistakes, and grow without being held to standards they don't know about yet and are still learning. So, if you are under 22, please don't try to strike up a friendship or get involved in discussions on my posts.
Please don't automatically assume I follow/know/co-sign someone just because I reposted something from them—sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. Also, if you think being removed as a follower when we're not mutuals is a cardinal sin, please do not follow me.

in reply to @itsnatclayton's post:
I wasn't shocked Arkane Austin got cut, but Tango is literally pumping out only bangers, what fucking standard are they expecting??
At this point of the acquisition/closure onslaught, my question is also starting to be “which owner/employees benefited financially from the acquisition and are they financially helping peeps affected by the closure?”
Cause it’s not like Xbox bought those for nothing.
Considering Robert Trump was a board member/major investor in Zenimax Media and died without heirs, technically one of the biggest payout winners of the acquisition was Donald Trump and the Trump Organization.
Yes but I was thinking more of someone like Mikami who may have gotten millions in the 2010 zenimax deal and left last year.

He left to found a new company to make games because he was unhappy at Tango because of Bethesda/MS. Tango 2 basically.
yeah mikami seems to be a real one from what i’ve seen today from people more in the know. todd howard on the other hand.. remember, didn’t bethesda get arkane/ID prior to msft getting bethesda? like they were in any way hurting for money.
Didn't that guy famously hate his dipshit brother? I would hope he had something in place to stop that from happening but I don't know.
Your thinking of his older brother Fred Jr., his daughter is a psychologist and hates his guts. Literally a week before he died Robert surprised Donald at a 2020 campaign event and they had a huge hug. About one of the few genuinely human moments that guy showed his entire life.
