it's not the devs saying it, but it's the devs who are punished
Never said the devs did. Ubisoft execs said it and they deserve it.
the quote is literally "developers must get used to not having jobs"
execs aren't the ones losing jobs with layoffs
The Larian guy isn't saying the quote seriously. He's saying it's the natural conclusion of the Ubisoft strategy and that it's bad for everyone, so Ubisoft better change their strategy.
Execs are the ones ordering the layoffs. The devs can make a worker co-op since they are the ones that actually produce shit.
note that even in your fantasy the execs aren't losing out
Losing all their employees is not losing out, right.
correct, because they'll just wriggle off to another company
you know you can just admit you read the title wrong and said something stupid, rather than doubling down? rather than pretending you meant something completely different
Yeah I dont regret what I said. Ubisoft deserves to lose all its developers. Contrary to your belief, this will not kill the devs. Tech industries in general would benefit from alternative forms of management in business. They should all lose their jobs, and make a worker co-op that Ubisoft has no rights to. But go off, Pete, you sassy ancap.
"go off sassy ancap" good lord it's like talking to a child
have a good one, mate
Well as long as the workers have Stockholm syndrome and dont want to leave then yeah. But if you sap the talent out of a place, that talent wasn't rented by the worker from the company. They take it with them. You're under the impression these devs will go home and just sit on the floor. Not at all.
