    people just don’t want to work anymore

    NO

    THEY CLEARLY FUCKING DO

    BUT YOU FUCKING GREEDY CUNTS KEEP FIRING EVERYONE AND TAKE FAT FISCAL QUARTER BONUSES

    AND THEN IT’S A 19 STEP INTERVIEW PROCESS WHEN THEY TRY TO LOOK FOR A NEW JOB

    AND THAT’S IF THEY’RE “LUCKY” ENOUGH FOR THE DOGSHIT AI TO RANDOM.CHOICE() THEIR RESUME OUT OF THE 900+ OTHER DESPERATE APPLICANTS

    THEN THEY FINALLY SOMEHOW GET AN OFFER: $1.89 per full uninterrupted hour at your desk and a single bag of skittles (opened)

    Sorry for the caps, I’ve been in the job market recently and it’s fucking brutal. I have to constantly justify my value as a human being and then just face rejection after rejection.

    Remember kids, don’t buy into hype anymore. Hype is a marketing tool. They don’t have to make any promises that a game will be good or even come out just because they hyped you up for it. Don’t allow yourself to be excited for anything until it actually releases.

            If you go for subscription, you accept that the stuff is temporal. Or at least you should. So it should make no practical difference if a game vanishes because it gets pulled from the catalog or if you decide to cancel the subscription because you consider it too expensive.
