Can somebody explain why game makers don't start their own companies together?

It seems like every other week a game studio is massively laying off employees; sometimes after years of development. What I’m reading is that it’s a quick way to lower expenses and pad the investors’ pockets, flooding the market with developers and reducing their value, to then hire them back a few months later at lower...

when they buried the founder of mormonism, Joseph Smith, they filled his coffin with sandbags. he was actually dead though

that was fueled mostly by the fact that the government investigated the idea. people take it to mean that means they saw enough evidence to believe it, but it was probably an ass-covering for a rumor

until they’re asking for genuine help (which starts with help getting clean), any attempt to help would be mostly enabling, i think. I would start distancing myself from this guy, just so I don’t have to watch them kill themselves. but I would let them know what I was doing and why at the same time. myself and a group of friends (all in recovery ourselves) cut ties with a really close friend when he relapsed and refused to go to rehab. in our case, that was the final straw he needed to get help again, and now he’s been sober for like 10 years. I can’t guarantee it’ll go well, he’s clearly self-destructive, but I don’t enjoy watching it

it was never about defeating nazism. if Hitler had stayed in germany, the world would have let him do all of his things
