Owning tends to cost more in the long run while also tying you down uselessly.

Owning is what brainlets do.

Hoarding their wealth and ignoring the future.
None of these big corporations has the balls to innovate anymore.

1. How did you pay it since your company isn't making anything
2. How do you pay the taxes on your home?

You dont own your house either. Dont pay taxes for a year. See what happens

good goy

good luck getting a mortgage unless you're making >2500 a month

Probably realizing that hiring social media influencers and diversity specialists was a waste of company money. Though they could just be replacing everyone with cheaper pajeets.

It's just booting people that eat into their expenses

As long as the Cantha expansion is good, idgaf what they do.

So do we actually know already what kind of employees did Blizzard fire? Were it developers, useless middleman leeches or both?

So what grant did he sign into law that is now expired?
They were all community managers, eSports personnel, etc. on the lists making the rounds and as far as I know Blizzard opened like 150 game development positions immediately after.

I make $1700 a month after taxes and have a mortgage. The person in our office making $12.hr has a fucking mortgage.
Where you getting this $2500/mo shit?

>yfw you realize Anet will never make a true sequel to Guild Wars

>"Guild Wars but without any Guilds warring"

'Dragon Wars' sounds extremely generic though, unless they gave the 'natural disasters' that are the dragons a term.

I own my own company and it sucks. You don't know what each month is going to make you. I've had some months were I make $5k and others I make $500.

It's still better than wageslaving for a company that actively hates you. I'm sad that it took a friend at work committing suicide because he hated the place so much before I put my foot down and said enough.

2 biggest expenses most businesses have.
>Brick & mortar
>Employees
Its easier to lay people off than look for a new office. Leases are a bitch

keep at it bro. I sold my startup and I never have to work another day in my life. Bought a 220k house with a plot of land in a small WHITE community. Everybody is so nice and friendly.

I worked 10 years for a business ran by multi millionaires. They sold the business and I got sacked. I didn't get shit. Told myself I'll never be a wage cuck ever again.

There was apparently some sort of slush fund which was created right after Obama lifted the law that forbids the US government from engaing in propaganda.
Same Fund didnt get renewed the start of 2018, and finally ran out at the end of it apparently.

Because they're all hiring hundreds of people who do nothing for useless made-up positions that exist to meet diversity quotas. Look at them complaining about layoffs on social media, they're always in QA or something like "Narrative Designer" or "Social Media Assistant Manager"

>Owning tends to cost more in the long run while also tying you down uselessly.
Literal retard.

I wish you godspeed.

All non stem should be paid no more than minimum wage. It annoys me to see non stem people in well paid jobs as they studied easy fun things in college whereas I had to study shit I hated to get paid well.

industry is crashing (hopefully)
or they're just culling the diversity hires who dont actually contribute anything

>dying MMO laying off people
It's not like anet has a new game in development, and it seems like they don't produce many expansions or content drops either. What are they all doing? That's when Mr. Korean Corporate Manager decides it's time to clean house.

>years later the game un-optimized trash
>story is trash
>gameplay is trash
>end-game is trash

The faster Guild Wars brand gets sold to some Chinese company the better.

renting is so stupidly fucking expensive, even working full time you end up giving up over half your check minimum to rent and utilities in even modest apartments
the only way to overcome this is to either live in the cheapest studio you can find or split rent in some claustrophobic space with a stranger

>Sell crap and kill your own studios
Why?

Base game was irredeemable garbage but the two expansions made it somewhat worthwhile. Still has some of the most boring, braindead gameplay of any MMO I've ever played.
