I’ve added the script for Wake Up Dead Man to my site. This is the final shooting script, so it has stuff that was cut and moved around, which I always think is more interesting to see than a conformed cleaned up version. Enjoy! www.rian-johnson.com/screenplays

one of the most hilarious* things about america and its preoccupation of being The Most Freedom Country is that it has an unprecedented surveillance network that is trivially available to government that government didn't even have to pay for, it tricked its citizens/residents into buying it
“Safety experts and tech critics have long condemned the Ring devices for security risks and privacy violations, not to mention their role in building the largest civilian surveillance network in US history.”
Fury as Amazon Ring Cameras Are Hooked Up to ICE System
Online activists are telling owners of Ring Doorbell cameras that it's time to get rid of their devices, which can be used by ICE.

This is them doing a stealth layoff, since they won't have to report the people who quit as a layoff event (and they have studios in countries where a layoff could fuck them over a bit), and naturally anyone who stays will then have crunch inflicted. It's a lot harder to effectively crunch remote.

And as they "cut headcount", I'm reminded of the fact that their executives are likely going to be unaffected by their horrific strategy and mismanagement.
Sorry not sorry: letting a culture of intimidation and toxicity fester is a CEO problem. And now no one wants to buy their games. Just sayin'.

Ubisoft headcount has declined by over 3,000 people since the start of a €300 million cost reduction plan.
Today they said they plan €200 million more in cuts by March 2028

One source I've spoken with anticipates layoffs to be in the "hundreds" when they happen at Ubisoft.
I wouldn't be surprised if it's more than that.
