"Just recently Gearbox dropped their "Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition" deal with G2A, as they failed to meet their ethics demands. Well, that's no news by now. However, we have a history with G2A. So I want to share our experience with them with you all. So here's my take on the Gearbox/G2A deal and G2A as a whole" - Robin Ek, TGG
The cuts are expected to be announced next week.
Microsoft is also planning thousands of job cuts that will impact other parts of it businesses

MFs has been beating their chests over great quarterly results and big profits to shareholders while firing people by the thousands just like Sony.
I wonder if at the top of those rumored layoffs they´ll also cancel upcoming or unannounced games while shutting down more studios as well.
Always got to throw shade at Sony smh.
Yes we get it,
MS good Sony bad
MS bad Sony is also bad lmao
F* them both!
Just for the record, I don´t care about your victim complex crap either. Find someone else who cares.
"just like Sony"
Gosh you're insufferable, not everything needs to be both-sides'd. Sony's had layoffs, but nothing like what Microsoft has been doing and is continuing to do.
I mean, no offense, but this is why you’re not some corporate business person running a major corporation. Big profits don’t mean jobs are safe. Do you understand why things like this happen:
Cutting jobs to maintain or increase profitability, especially in underperforming divisions like parts of Xbox like other gaming divisions.
Corporate restructuring and relocating resources for strategic stability in ever changing markets and consumer behaviors.
Investor expectations and optimizing operations to maintain investor confidence. Whatever boosts stock prices and improves future margins.
And there’s many other factors at play. It’s never as simple as business doing well, everyone’s safe. That’s just you not understanding at all how corporations work and have been working since the beginning. This isn’t something that’s specific to Xbox, you can bet your ass Sony and Nintendo do this and if it’s not clear by now, game development is not a stable job nor has it ever been for many. A lot of developers are contractors and guess what happens when a project is done?
Mass Damage & Consumer Foundation in the Netherlands has filed a class action against Sony for inflating PlayStation Store prices.
Spook-A-boo is a silly ghost-hunting game where you and up to 3 friends explore different levels, hunting down ghosts in a game of hide-and-seek.
I've been avoiding G2A for years, so this comes as no surprise to me.
What about the limited editions? Thought it was G2A who were actually making the models...
Gearbox drops a partner over ETHICS... could they be more hypocritical?
Wait, Gearbox? Didn't their CEO sing some anti-GamerGate song live not so long ago? Furthermore, G2A should be taken to court for their bs moves in the games industry.
Simon_the_sorcerer@ "Hmm, that's worth looking into for sure."
- I'm going to mail Gearbox about it.
