    If buying a game isn’t any guarantee of its developers (those who actually made it) keeping their jobs as a result of its financial success, there’s no point in buying that game at all.

      I still think of you work for a studio they shouldn’t be laying you off, they spins be pipelining work.

      These devs aren’t employees if they do a short term task then get laid off, they’re contractors, and they souls die because their employment agreement is a lie.

      Devs ideally sound be paid via residuals anyways, because this is horse poop.

        Half your comment makes no sense.

        “I still think of you work”

        “they spins be pipelining work”… what?

        “and they souls die”

        “Devs ideally sound be paid”

        How the fuck did you write all that and somehow not notice how badly you failed?

          I can’t type mobile, the autocorrect now goes back and adds mistakes 3 words back even after fixing.

    Well this is fucking bullshit.

    You’d think buying the game would actually help those devs get paid.
