Can't say I'm too surprised, though. I always liked looking at Game Informer and Nintendo Power back in the pre-internet days.

First the Bungie layoffs and now this

It's a rough time to be a freeze-gamer

First the Bungie layoffs? It feels like every episode of Remap Radio has a discussion of freeze-gamer layoffs ever since they were laid off from Vice over a year ago.

Yeah, it was the most recent one, so it was freshest in my memory hole

But yeah, the big studios are grinding their workers to a pulp and then firing them

It's fucking gross

More people are saying it every day!

It's rough, too, because it hits AAAs and indie studios are also struggling to get funding. We gamers deserve the slop trough running dry, but the workers don't deserve this
