Instead of cutting CEO and executive pay let's fire some of the employees. - sounds about Capitalism

That's why I honestly respect Nintendo execs because they will take pay cuts over laying off staff when the going is tough! They might occasionally do shitty things or make out of touch decisions but at least they care about the health of their companies. Game companies can't make good games without talent.
