No idea what this is supposed to be, but I hope those people laid off will find suitable employment soon.
EDIT: Oh I understand why people found it funny now. Me having no idea and the name of the company is "Waypoint" lol. That's the joke right?

Stop. Like PK is absolutely annoying and performative, but that isn't relevant when someone with kids in a niche market they probably should've prepared for, gets the boot. Losing a job when you're older and taking care of a family aint a fun experience.

Not to throw salt in their wound. I didn’t read their stuff. It felt too much like an agenda driven site than a video game news site. It’s a finger pointing contest with people who have worked in the gaming journalist industry for X+ amount of years. Hopefully their families will survive this.
Same and i thought they have just announced a couple of new games

We're going to miss some quality content such as this:

Hogwarts Legacy Imagines a Harry Potter Without JK Rowling
Even if Rowling didn't work on this game, everything eyebrow-raising in the series came from one source.

Me too, haha. I was thinking, "Dang... Did Advance Wars do so poorly?"

Should be noted this is a guy who would cancel, fire, and imprison everyone who has ever posted on post-exodus Neogaf if given the chance. Guy is as far alt left as a REEE mod. No reason to feel bad or defend him though, he'll have no problem landing another 6 figure job at some other tech media outlet. They always fail upward.

This is such a shame too because I like Vice's video documentaries. They're so well produced and engaging.

The Lisa Simpson of gaming has a good ring to it.
P.S. I always like Lisa on that show.

Not surprising in the slightest.
Austin and Patrick used Giantbomb as a launchpad and then had the nerve to throw shade at GB because they were upset that females weren't hired in as hosts.
They're both douchebags in my book.

I Wish 'Resident Evil 2' Let Me Be a More Compassionate Hero
'Resident Evil 2' is a scary, effective fantasy of permission and scarcity. But I want to be a different kind of survivor.

Not even a big fan of cops but good grief, shit like that is just laughably bad. It's like something from a first year undergrad writing for the school paper.

Klepek was an ass back on the 1up boards, I wasn't surprised when he went full retard. The real surprise here was that it lasted as long as it did.

As someone with three kids who has swallowed absolute career shit in order to provide for them, he could always stop writing about video games for a living and do what 99% of the workforce do.

Only thing I ever remember coming out of vice was the trip to North Korea. That was pretty neat.

In his writeup he said he was unsure if the game was going to "show him porn".
Just imagine the horror of accidentally having to look at some boobs

Vice got big by being a site full of people who went to crazy places and did crazy things. They also encapsulated the hipster ethos of late 00s Brooklyn (when and where they started) and reflected that culture. Then, somewhere along the way, they turned into a more political SJW Bustle for reasons I still do not know. It's been worthless for a long time.

Sucks when people lose their jobs but I'm honestly surprised it was around for as long as it was. A "gaming news site where the twist is that everyone is a progressive leftist" is like saying it's a "gaming news site where the twist is that they cover games." It's not like every major gaming outlet left standing isn't full of dissection of developers and new releases from a lefty lense. I don't think they actually carved out the niche they thought they had.
I liked Austin when he was with Giant Bomb, and I feel for their families impacted by this. I wish nobody ill will.
