The director of Baldur's Gate 3, Swen Vincke, was one of many to speak out on the recent mass layoffs within the video games industry at an industry awards show last night, blaming the job losses on corporate"greed" that had been"fucking this whole thing up for so long".

"It's always the quarterly profits," he continued,"the only thing that matters are the numbers, and then you fire everybody and then next year you say 'shit I'm out of developers' and then you start hiring people again, and then you do acquisitions, and then you put them in the same loop again, and it's just broken...

This story is not only cruel, but it is definitively and provably false."2024 Game Developers Choice Awards winners montage.
