Same title as the video. Game dev writer Alanah Pierce offers her POV on the recent layoffs from Epic Games.

This is one of the few industries that consistently and continuously posts record profits while also firing everyone who put in the work to make the success possible.

will anybody think of the C-suite?!?!?! How will they be able to face their other rich friends if they don't wage-steal to ensure they hit record profits quarter after quarter?????

Epic is such a perfect encapsulation of this because FORTNITE IS A LICENSE TO PRINT MONEY. Why are they laying off developers, do they need those funds to hire forklift operators for their pallets of cash? Jfc
