New idea:

Whenever a company wants to drop X workers, the first Y people of that have to be the C-suites, and they cannot get a parachute. They leave just on the last pay they received regularly, no bonuses or anything.

As much as 2000IQ that can sound, it would mean leaving any company in shambles after a layoff round

Oh course, and I'm half joking. But something has to be done about execs stuffing their own arse full with all the bank notes they get from mass layoffs, when that money could easily keep some of those workers employed.

Oh no, the buffoons who mismanaged the company so badly that scores of people are laid off have to be fired! Now who will fuck things up while making off with tons of cash?

Yes because we all know a company sake is more important than the lives of sometimes hundreds of people. You realize how awful you sound ?

I'm sure he's weeping as his 7 figure pay stubs come into his bank account and he gets driven home to his mansion.

Win what exactly? They're the biggest game company out there.

Win all of the money, win capitalism?

These people are mentally ill, just straight up.

On one hand, I don't at all like Embracer. On the other hand, the longer Embracer exists the more likely we get that KotOR remake.

I more than suspect your future personalAGI agent will make you a KotOR remake before Embracer gets to it.

Fair. I don't exactly have high hopes for it lol.

Really? I have very high hopes. Not next year or the year after but as we approach the end of the decade you will be able to ask for any experience you desire. Furthrr since it will get to know your taste, it will be tailored to you. I share this with both excitement as a consumer and sadness as a VR developer whose career will be replaced by AI one day.
