Who the fuck isn't mad at the megacorp?

My issue is the people who use this as an excuse to blame the devs who are just doing their jobs while trying to live their dreams.

Again. There are studios out there who are doing exactly what everyone insists they want AND are doing so in ways that make getting funding difficult. And they get shit on because of a "hot take" on twitter or because their game isn't as pretty as Call of Duty.

When large groups of people get laid off because of corporate bullshit? The answer is not to say "Hey, you should fucking do better next time". It is "Fuck corporations" or "fuck capitalism".
