It's sad. Also, not really surprising. KSP2 has had a very rough development cycle, and a very rough release.
Do they still support KSP?

[–] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 13 points 5 months ago

Doubtful. But that might actually be a good thing.

KSP is feature complete and has a massive modding community. I remember back in the old days when modders had to worry about every new update breaking their mods.

Players would have to wait for their mods to catch up before updating the game. And each new update usually required a new save.

The cowboy days of KSP.

Nowadays not having to worry about mods breaking is a huge relief.

If you are one of those 70 people, don't even lift a finger from this point on. If you are required to go to the job, take a book or something to do and literally do nothing. Use it to find a new job, hopefully swiftly, where your talents will be appreciated.

unfortunately the entire game dev industry has been righteously kicked in the balls, they're competing against 100,000+ who were let go over the last year.

I'm at the point that violent revolution would not worry me, corporations and the investors who ruined capitalism with demands for 25% return on investment need to be burned out of house and home. We have no other ideas, we need capitalism to work because otherwise we get Warsaw Pact levels of Orwellian dystopia or a damn feudal society, so fuck data farming, fuck investors, fuck finding new jobs. Just do a "silent strike" and when they tell the lot of you that you're fired, say "Not unless you want that fire to spread. You hired us, you fucking pay us. We won't just walk, we'll take you down, so put up or no layoffs. Not when we've been abused for years as contractors. We're fucking done with being threatened with hardship to cover for your mistakes."

The problem is that we're legitimately in the middle of a class war, the wealthiest 0.01% are actually trying to create a world where everyone else is expendable.
