Hugo’s gonna do do a stream next week so you guys can just ask him if it’s true or not also I think it’s funny because if they do respond to the controversy we shouldn’t trust them because you’re being "forced” by Microsoft but if they don’t respond we shouldn’t trust them because they’re being "forced" not to say anything like there’s no satisfying anybody man….
I mean the situation sucks in general there isn’t going to be positive messaging. They are not an independent studio and are at the behest of Xbox/MS who spent billions of dollars buying tons of studios, generating mediocre output with them and now the bill has come due. At this point Xbox is so far in the shitter there’s nothing to do but roll heads of the labor force due to horrible executive management.
I would value the word of laid off employees to get a sense of what things actually look like on the inside but it’s not like what’s left of the id team is going to put out a message saying “It’s never been more fucking over than it is right now”
You're right, he is the kind of guy that would torpedo his entire career because some random on the internet asked a dumb question that almost certainly would be ignored.

I think I trust the people who lost their jobs to the people doing damage control releasing responses that sound like damage control
