Ex-Sony Computer Entertainment Europe president Chris Deering does not believe recent layoffs across the games industry have been a result of corporate greed. Instead, workers who have lost their jobs should “drive an Uber” or “go to the beach for a year” until employment settles.
“I don’t think it’s fair to say that the resulting layoffs have been greed,” said Deering. “I always tried to minimise the speed with which we added staff because I always knew there would be a cycle and I didn’t want to end up having the same problems that Sony did in Electronics.”
Sorry that was taken out of context, the real quote would be: “[…] should drive an Uber over the studio executives or go to the beach for a year to train sharks to attack studio executives”

The second part has real “let them eat cake vibes”!
Fuck their cake. Eat them.
That sounds like it might get messy. The eating’s probably fine though

Nice praxis, comrade Deering.
If I’m going to the beach for a year, I’m making him into an umbrella to block the sun.
