EA Slammed for "Lack of Honesty and Transparency"

@rt-201904250042311728947 Heh... in time it might be, but so far it's just a waiting game and a revolving door of Prime Ministers...

@draeoth I definitely would prefer this model moving forward.

@animeshift big oof

@animeshift But they did? Probably about as much as legal would allow too.

@AZ_Vagabond They did, but here they are showing other companies layoffs and misgivings, while sweeping theirs under the rug.

@animeshift No, they literally talked about the layoffs in this video

@MoHawKacHo Layoffs come with every company. Clearly RT has been having financial stability issues for a good while and a move like this has been a long time coming. They were clearly overextending with their limited resources and I’m honestly glad they made this move now before the company started to backslide into a financial decline that they couldn’t pull out of. Not only does this make it easier for them to continue to put out new shows and more content for us, but to keep the stuff they’re already making alive. This is different from the crunch culture and overwork and late payments- a situation where they obviously were fucking up and they knew it and were embarrassed to own it. This is a smart move to keep the company healthy and of course it sucks for the people involved and affected when layoffs happen, but at the very least it’s not a decision made for nefarious purposes.
