I guess this is reddit and you don’t know how to read past the headlines?

Please do not tell me that anyone is surprised that a triple A game studio laid off most of their employees as a reward for a job well done.
Please. Please tell me everyone has figured out that nearly all large game dev companies are pure fucking evil.

They didn’t even read the headline.
The headline clearly says that Hasbro (owners of WotC/D&D) did layoffs, not Larian Studios (creators of Balder’s Gate 3).

Listen, we all know gamers can’t read. What did you expect? /s
MindSkipperBro12@lemmy.world 10 months ago
This but unironically.
Redredme@lemmy.world 11 months ago
The headline here on lemmy is unreadable gibberish with BG3 in the title. It could as well be
Layoff 5blagagasjjee Swen shgrwaaahahaaaa Baldurs Gate 3 dacghgfrtf gone. Click here for ads.
So i get where he’s coming from. On the other hand, once you start reading the ads with some content in between it becomes clear immediately that this is about the IP holder, not the game studio.

I’m kinda with you on that, without knowing that Hasbro doesn’t own Larian this can be misread.
But I guess that the overly angry tone made people quite upset about your comment

…is that an attempt at sarcasm or something?
‘There’s almost nobody left’: CEO of Baldur’s Gate 3 dev Swen Vincke says the D&D team he initially worked with is gone, due to Hasbro layoffs
Same Lemmy title as the article. You know exactly who’s talking (“CEO of Baldur’s Gate 3 dev Swen Vincke”), about whom (“the D&D team he initially worked with”), what happened to them and who is to blame (“due to Hasbro layoffs”).
As far as titles go, it’s pretty good at telling you exactly what the actual article is about. Sure, you may need basic knowledge about how a licenced product works, and that BG3 is under the D&D licence. It would be rather hard to fit all that in a title.

I don't even think they read the headline correctly.

Read? Lemmy is Reddit 2.0. Unfortunately, the majority don’t read articles.
Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Yeah I was super refreshed when I moved here but it seems to have just absorbed all the bad habits I hated about reddit.
Poggervania@kbin.social 11 months ago
Off-topic, but when I mentioned this in a different thread, an actual answer I got is basically the fediverse is really similar to reddit - how can the culture be any different?
Anyways, if the fediverse starts to become Reddit 2.0 I think it would be high time to go.
stopthatgirl7@kbin.social 11 months ago
It really has. It’s kind of depressing, honestly.
corytheboyd@kbin.social 11 months ago
Yeah… that trait isn’t limited to Reddit users
ABCDE@lemmy.world 11 months ago
If you read the comments, the majority have done so.
Cybersteel@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Unfortunately, the exodus brought in more low quality users.
Lemonparty@lemm.ee 11 months ago
About a week ago you decided to make your lemmy account. A better idea would’ve been to learn how to fucking read.
Delphia@lemmy.world 10 months ago
You should teaach him about your username.

I’m proud to say I’ve spread the lemon party gospel on lemmy a few times, and the reactions are always worth it.

You…You might want to consider reading the article.
Hasbro owns Wizards of the Coast, who own DnD. Larian, a completely separate company, got the rights to make BG3 from Hasbro. Hasbro laid off nearly everyone Larian Studios worked with at Wizards of the Coast.
ABCDE@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Hasbro laid off nearly everyone Larian Studios
WHY ARE ALL DEVS EVIL
HandBreadedTools@lemmy.world 10 months ago
What? No. They’re saying that Larian, a completely independent company, worked with a team from Wizards of the Coast. Wizards of the Coast is owned by Hasbro. Hasbro laid off 1100 employees from Wizards of the Coast. Many of those employees were on the team that worked with Larian to make BG3.
Larian Studios had literally nothing to do with this. Larian did nothing wrong.
ABCDE@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Thanks for responding to my joke post seriously.
zainitopia@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Maybe reread the article
Poggervania@kbin.social 11 months ago
Try re-reading the headline again :)

Hooray pity upvote!
The bed is comfortable, yes.
vladmech@lemmy.world 11 months ago
It’s the D&D team at Wizards of the Coast, not at Larian.
