Watching a CEO get fucked by using AI is orgasmic.

The CEO will be fine at the end of the day.

The workers are going to get fucked, though.

At the moment this is a win for the workers. They should get their full share of the payout, now. The main danger is now their parent company may be hostile to them (or even try to close them) until the parent company CEO gets replaced.

until the parent company CEO gets replaced.

One would hope pulling such a boneheaded move ought to make that happen rather quickly.

Of course, if this CEO has been there for more than a year or 2, he would probably get a golden parachute for more than the value of his fuckup…

Yep as soon as the game is launched, LAYOFFS!!!

Sharing profits with the people who actually did the work is anti-capitalist.

oh god, sounds like Krafton were already assholes. I bet the put the other 250 in and sell it in pieces.

Yeah. These illegal firings happened around 9 months ago. I doubt these guys had the funds to just sit on the sidelines, doing nothing, hoping that the court would rule in their favour. Even if they’re offered their jobs back, it could be that by now they’ve made other commitments.

Even if they’re offered their jobs back, it could be that by now they’ve made other commitments.

Or just don’t want to contribute to an organization that tried to fuck them over in the past. I’d be much more inclined to get a payout and move on with my life. What’s the point of returning to a job and making more money for the people who just tried to get rid of you to save a buck?

With many businesses I’m sure that’s true. But, it might be different when you’re making something artistic. Subnautica has a lot of passionate fans, and it’s a unique kind of game. These guys might really want to finish this game that they poured a lot of themselves into. Maybe not, maybe they just want to move on. But, I think a lot of people who work on games really care about what it is they’re doing.
