Ex-Sony Computer Entertainment Europe president Chris Deering does not believe recent layoffs across the games industry have been a result of corporate greed. Instead, workers who have lost their jobs should “drive an Uber” or “go to the beach for a year” until employment settles.
Deering was a guest on games writer Simon Parkin’s podcast My Perfect Console, where the pair discussed games industry layoffs.
“I don’t think it’s fair to say that the resulting layoffs have been greed,” said Deering. “I always tried to minimise the speed with which we added staff because I always knew there would be a cycle and I didn’t want to end up having the same problems that Sony did in Electronics.”
I am advocating violence against this man. This post is a call to violence.
They should go to the sun for a year
I’ll donate his yearly salary for this cause
At the very least they should be left outside in the sun for a year.
There is a precedent where someone said hungry people should just eat cake.
That was the most out of touch thing to say. Clearly these execs have never sweat from actual work in their lives that they think people can get comfortable with no income.
