Alexander King on Mythryl: “I've seen some perplexed reactions to these layoffs, like "but…”

I've seen some perplexed reactions to these layoffs, like "but firing all this talent is such bad business!", this is the missing part of the puzzle for that. There's an unprecedented wave of unionization in games, and if it means keeping labor cheap and scared, that changes the math for execs.

The mass layoffs hitting the industry are as much about disciplining workers as they are about cutting costs. The bosses want us scared, desperate, and afraid to ask for more. If we don't speak up, they will learn that this tactic works, and they'll keep doing it! That's why we need to fight back!
