Kek. It blows my mind people actually said that shit with a straight face. How many code monkeys did they think the world needed? Especially since automation has always been big tech's main goal anyway. Anyone working for any silicon valley company is simply working to create their own replacement.

People laugh now, before they realize this is going to happen to every business.

There are twice as many Indians as there are Americans and Europeans COMBINED. They're going to take over everything.

Americans and Europeans are facing mass unemployment.

Yup. Corpos have been seething nonstop at the work from home revolution and the cold hard realisation that workers would happily stay at home and not suck up to senior management or pretend to be their friends. Anyone who works at a desk: learn a skill that requires you to be physically in your country, because it’s over for you

So what will companies do when 50% of people get unemployed and stop buying things?

Everything is going to crash. We recently saw data that purchase power for young Americans (videogames) have gone down a whopping 25% over a single years.

It’s already priced in. The crash will happen, they’ll weather the storm, and they’ll suck your last pennies out of you with subscription services for your groceries, where the quality and quantity of what your subscription gets you will steadily diminish over time

This is why i have and never will never buy anything with mortgages or loans, not even credit card, except ultra emergency stuff. Game dev's business strategy is literally "making a high risk investment product" everytime you devving. Its not smart to buy things when you don't have the guarantee to have the money in the future, in this kind of business.

Also, thanks /biz/ for teaching me this back in 2017

Correct. But slaves earn so little money they won't be able to pay for anything except rent and bills. Which means purchasing power will crash, which means companies will go bankrupt.

Just stop working for major publishers.
We all know that the reason they have these large teams in the first place is so that they can fire people performatively to preempt news of a bad fiscal quarter, since devs stop contributing positively to the development of a game before you even break triple digits.

This is already achieved by IP law. The push for AI exists almost exclusively to push the agenda of IP law and make the bargaining position of individual's worse, not as its own thing.

The endgame is corporate minmaxxing profits as much as they can until the inevitable failure/collapse of their business thanks to AI, then they can just go to the government and banks for bailouts.
They use the bailouts to fund their next ponzi scheme.
They have no risk and dont have to pay wages/redundancy.
Its a win-win for them.

what is this weird practice these companies are doing now, where they go on a MASS hiring spree, getting as many people as they can in a few months.
They then throw them onto major projects and leave them there for literally YEARS, im talking 3-5+ years of working.
Then suddenly, "oh wait no we need to budget cut" and so they fire everyone they hired.
Then the project they had a trailer announcement for is in endless limbo or just vaporware cancelled at this point.
All of this, yet they have record profits and growth to investors.
So my question is this /v/.
My entire post loops itself.
These companies will then shortly after laying off EVERYONE, they will go on a MASS rehiring spree again and repeat the process ive outlined.

WHAT is really going on? Do the workers even work on anything? Is it all a front to gain shareholder wealth and dividends?

Xbox hasn't released ANY games other than Halo Infinite in 2021, FOR 5-6+ YEARS.
Every game they announced, such as Fable, Perfect Dark, and others, were all announced as far back as 2020.
And they all still have nothing to show for it.
Its like how Microsoft hired that japanese guy for Scarebound, he spent 2-3 years developing it, then right when it was literally finished, they pulld the rug from under him and said "it didnt meet their standards".

The entire company of Microsoft (and other companies) just seem like massive front companies to make endless wealth but producing nothing of value. Its literally smoke and mirrors.

a lot of these people have the talent to be successful, but if they want the mainstream audience they'll have to be more subtle about their politics

cyberpunk 2077 incorporated all of the progressive tropes it could fit down to tranny bulges in advertisements and they got away with it because they weren't overly preachy and showed self awareness

It's a performative dance for the shareholders, they hire and fire employees to appear forward thinking when they break the news of their quarterly releases. At best the excess of employees help to pump their various real-estate scams by occupying office buildings and keep the various consultancy companies that get nepohired by the CEO (also formerly a consultant) seemingly productive.
Game sales don't make their profits (or at least not the ones they care about) and actually releasing the game would only risk upsetting the charade.
The truth of IP law is that major entities will trend towards being NPEs, because the law is not optimized for promoting productivity beyond the tiny scale of independent artists getting ripped off by domestic Tshirt companies.
