I’m still trying to figure out why EA was targeted for a leveraged buyout and eventual shutdown. The PIA is rich enough that it doesn’t need to saddle EA with that twenty billion dollars of debt that the company has no real way of servicing.

The promise of the Chicago School of Economics was that obviously the correct and proper people would have this unfathomable wealth funneled to them. “Understood that Humbert Humbert wasn't the good guy” is apparently not a criterion. #epstein

In the four years I've been at IGN I've watched its staff shrink and shrink, all while those who remain are asked to do more and more. I see colleagues skip lunch, stay late day after day, and burn out.
IGN staff are passionate and love their work. But we can't keep letting that be exploited.

Ziff Davis and IGN routinely decide that work done by our laid off colleagues is not important. But inevitably, that crucial work falls onto those who remain.
Not this time. Not anymore.
