One of the wild hypocrisies of living in Capitalism is simultaneously hoping that an entire economic industry collapses, because it clearly deserves to do so and is not at all sustainable in it's current nonsensical state, while also not wanting any of the innocent workers like Heather to get impacted in the process.
It sucks that it's going to take even more suffering and people losing their jobs, but AAA Western gaming has gone full enshittify and needs to be weeded out by the roots. We basically need another crash on the level of the 90s before the C-suites at these shitty companies finally realize they have no goddamn idea what they're doing and they need to listen to their developer teams again.
