  Do the shareholders know? I mean actually though, are they watching? How do these CEOs not get removed for annihilating company futures based on speculative bubbles? Microslop is having the exact same issue with their guy… Can they just not see it somehow? How are they being bamboozled?

    Mass Hirings and Firings are all smoke and mirrors for the shareholders. You do a mass hirings to put on the appearance of growth and you do mass firings to put on the appearance of cuttings costs. None of it’s real and the shareholders don’t seem to care.

  Remember back when this AI Slop jock jagoff was making great games? Feels like an eternity ago.

    Unreal and Unreal Tournament, sure. I feel like all of their many sequels saw a continuous decline in quality, but the originals were great games. Can’t deny that Gears of War has been influential. Epic Pinball and One Must Fall 2097 were good for a laugh for ten minutes, but I can’t help but feel that they’ll have aged badly.

    Seems crazy to think that Jill of the Jungle, which is an awful game, is what lined their pockets enough to develop the Unreal engine, and they were riding on the success of that all the way up to Fortnite.
