'I've Never Seen It This Bad:' Game Developers Explain the Huge Layoffs Hitting Riot, Epic, and More - IGN

      Or… And hear me out… We could ignore all the really compelling stuff Indie developers are selling for a fraction of what the big studios charge, and instead pay full price again for the same game with different names on the jerseys. /s

        But then I’d need to, like, learn about it. And then learn how to play a new game. That’s work. I’m just here for fun. Why you got to make this political? I just want to play the same game with my friends every year. But it’s gotta be the new one because that’s what my friends all play. The newest is always the best anyway, so what’s the big deal? It’s just a hobby. /s
