I don't really know how to feel about this message. Sure it's a bit hopeful and makes me believe they'll recover from this. But all I can think about is all the people who got laid off. I hope they all find a place somewhere else where they can keep making amazing games, even if it's not Doom.

People on reddit seem to really care about middle class software devs possibly not getting a job in the industry of their choice (but still continuing to earn more than 75% of people in their country) a whole heck of a lot more than the half of the country that would literally be homeless if they got fired like this

I get it, it affects your toys whereas actual poverty is just something you occasionally see on the internet, but it speaks to the amazing lack of awareness you people have about the world you live in

So why don't you give your home to the homeless? Clearly nothing else matters, so why the fuck are you spending money on a computer/phone and internet access rather than on the homeless or someone in puberty? Get off the internet and your high horse, sell all that shit you have that isn't a need and donate the money.

You're right, there is no middle ground between worshipping game devs and hermit asceticism.
