Considering the possibility of making those hard decisions some day down the line, Tarn wondered if the experience would give him "more empathy for the people that lay people off.

"No, I don't fucking think so," he concluded. "They can all eat shit, I think they're horrible, and I think they're bad people."

There's the whole article, just add a few paragraphs of padding around it.

We all hate the execs, ofc. But this is a non news story. Two guys who have absolutely nothing to lose, totally independent from the studios and with absolutely zero power or influence on them, say exactly what the rest of us are saying.

It's an article designed to illicit the "yes I agree I'll share this!" Part of your brain, but there's nothing here to see or talk about.

I would boycott AAA games but I don't even play them.
