The problem being is it's the wrong workforce being fired, you should be firing retarded execs not the developers who actually work hard and DON'T make retarded decisions.
[QUOTE=Source;40421570]The problem being is it's the wrong workforce being fired, you should be firing retarded execs not the developers who actually work hard and DON'T make retarded decisions.[/QUOTE] I think it's safe to say that someone working for EA have probably said that at some point.
[QUOTE]According to EA, "these are hard but essential changes as we focus on delivering great games and showing players around the world why to spend their time with us."[/QUOTE] EA is so full of shit it's not even funny anymore
[QUOTE=Source;40421570]The problem being is it's the wrong workforce being fired, you should be firing retarded execs not the developers who actually work hard and DON'T make retarded decisions.[/QUOTE] Today I learned execs do nothing but count their money and devs are incapable of making retarded decisions. Shame about the layoffs though.
I feel terrible whenever I hear about layoffs at EA. Mostly because I feel good about it. It means there's some hope that they'll find whither away and die, like some sort of parasite that has been maimed and torn from the host that it is slowly murdering. But at the same time, people are losing their jobs. A lot of those people will have a very hard time getting a new job. Some will have their lives ruined by it, while I'm sitting here thinking "Ha ha ha, can't wait to see you burn EA."
[QUOTE=EskillV2;40421823]I think it's safe to say that someone working for EA have probably said that at some point.[/QUOTE] And I bet they were fired too.
Execs probably are the main cunts but chances are the devs at EA are just as dopey. Nothing to prove otherwise. Been years since they released a good game.

I keep two mouths open on the subject, saying "Fuck those executive cunts" with one mouth and "I pity the devs" with the other. I used to be all "Fuck EA", but now I've split my feelings. Helps me deal with their madness.
[QUOTE=EskillV2;40421823]I think it's safe to say that someone working for EA have probably said that at some point.[/QUOTE] Right before the Exec laughed heartily, wagged their finger at the now ex-employee and sent them on their way home out of a job.

[QUOTE=Keyblockor;40425042]Right before the Exec laughed heartily, wagged their finger at the now ex-employee and sent them on their way home out of a job.[/QUOTE] yes because EA is a literal hitler company that laughs and cheers whenever they fire anyone
Well on the brightside, I suspect that we will being seeing a lot more indie games because of this.
[QUOTE=Phaselancer;40425411]Well on the brightside, I suspect that we will being seeing a lot more indie games because of this.[/QUOTE] how does this even make sense people got fired from a big publisher, therefore indie games?
[QUOTE=The golden;40425628]Hopefully these people can go develop games for companies that actually appreciate them.[/QUOTE] [quote]In a statement to Shacknews, a representative for the publisher said that "we're not commenting on specific teams or number of employees." [/quote] they haven't officially revealed who has been fired and from where, how many people exactly, what development teams they were on, how long they've been standing with ea, their positions, how much they make, and what games they've worked on and you go ahead and make a dumb baseless accusation like that? wait until there's actual information about who was fired.
They're still hiring where I live.
If only the PR department was deemed worthy of layoffs...
EA is just too fucking sad... Makes me feel bad inside of me
