This company earns so much every year that can hire more workers and pay double for current ones.

Yet for unknown reasons they keep firing people, closing offices and CAN NOT KEEP GAME RUNNING WITHOUT BUG’S.

It’s actually disgusting. Well, i knew this before. Just remembered why i want to play less this game, since they treat humans like an animals.

Just because you don’t understand what he does doesn’t mean the CEO does nothing.

Not for unknown reasons. Companies exist to make money. They will cut costs where they can in order to make more money. This includes where personel are concerned.

The employees knew what they were getting into when they applied/started working there. I’d be all for them getting a raise, just as I’d be all for getting a raise myself, but they put themselves in the position they are in, not the company they work for.

Maybe you should become the CEO of your own gigantic, successful corporation and pay your employees whatever you want.

Same to every company like McDonald’s. So all the workers should be compensated more?

People do understand that the people skipping meals or not having families are the unskilled workers and that the issue is more about CA’s massive cost of living? The average home in Irvine, CA is almost $1,000,000.

Isn’t it a shame that, in modern day capitalism, the only strategy you can implement to get a fair share of the pie at any large company… is to run it?

And you wonder why the kids these days are all about crashing the stock market deliberately just to watch it burn with a smile on their faces…

This sort of treatment of employees is all too common in the video game industry. It’s what killed any desire I might have had to get into it as a software engineer.

The reality is also that nothing is going to change as long as people keep supporting developers that do this.

Which I might note that includes every single one of us, as we all have paid subs to WoW. Even the people who think “well I’m not giving money directly to them, I pay for my sub in gold” are supporting them given that Blizzard is still profiting off your subscription.

Management is overpaid nowadays.

They do barely any work, and get paid a LOT.

I wouldn’t say every company but probably every multibillion company.

Seems about right. All those store mounts, and failing to fix the game sure do line one’s pocket.

Everyone supports a capitalist society until they want to be angry with someone/thing profiting from it then its down with capitalism.

Ridiculous. Lots of people are happy with their salaries at a lot of big companies. Keep generalizing though.

The world gets better every year and it is getting better even as we speak. Things are improving all over.

You’re kidding right? We’re witnessing the first stages of the collapse of western civilization, and you think things are getting better?
