Man fuck these losers. “Ooooo we fired hundreds of people because we had to! We’re gonna focus on games!” What an excuse for the rich to keep riding the short term gains train. I don’t see any accountability in this message, just pandering and excuse making like they aren’t responsible for their decisions. Anyone up top taking a pay cut for their mistakes? Just making everyone else pay more and more for their greed.
Over the past several months, we’ve tried to alter our trajectory in many different ways. We asked leaders to make tradeoffs in the things their teams are working on. We rolled out hiring slowdowns, and in some cases hiring freezes. We put an emphasis on controlling costs while strengthening our revenue growth. All of which has without a doubt been tough for our teams.

I swear, the video game industry is the worst place you can work at.
Worked in it for almost 20 years. Two people from my first (real) job in it still work in it. Almost everyone went to software instead.
I have managed to convince a good dozen people to go into software instead of games, though.
Executives should have tried harder, for starters maybe they could have made tradeoffs on their outrageous salaries themselves. The current CEO initially served as its chief financial officer and added chief operating officer in 2014, maybe he’s the one responsible for Riot’s current financial situation.
