    When you celebrate layoffs at a studio because the game that you don’t like didn’t do that well, you’re crossing a line

    No you don’t? If you do a bad job and get fired for it, it’s not crossing the line just consequences of doing bad job. Your circumstances aren’t really relevant here, just own your mistakes and move on.

      The other comment contradicts your assumption

      This is demonstrably not true. Definitely people cheering for Ubi’s layoffs recently. Not about the execs, about the devs.

      As the other guy says, literally two posts down the line.

          And that is both entirely unreasonably and the type of behavior Darrah is (legitimately) complaining about.

          Nobody who works at Ubisoft is your enemy, and if you’re so mad about it that not buying the games isn’t enough and you feel like being a dick to the people losing their jobs online you’re the bad guy in this scenario.

              OK, but that’s bad, right? We all agree that’s bad.

              More importantly, that’s what Darrah is trying to say. And nobody wants to see themselves as the bad guy, so everybody is dancing around it.

              And no, I didn’t mean you specifically, I don’t know who you are. I do include other people in this thread that have made their position explicit, though.

                  I don’t, in fact, have to take that into account. I’m not making excuses for people who like being dicks on the Internet. Choosing a scapegoat to lash out at makes this worse, not better.
