As if they didn’t do that already. They’re just saying the quiet part out loud because “fuck you, rube. What are ypu gonna do, whine to the FCC?”

So soon? I figured it’d take a couple years for them to realize how they shot themselves in the foot by not hiring juniors anymore.

I am in fact blaming Daimler management for this, yes. It was back in 2010 or so that Mercedes-Benz bragged about having a full electric line-up by 2015 so they’ve had 15 full years of head start before the chinese came and started taking their lunch. What did they do in the meantime? They colluded with VAG and BMW to keep diesels in the mix. And yes, they’ve veen trying to weather a nasty storm recently, but they asked for state support every step of the way ( and received it most often than not, precisely because germany wanted to keep those people employed ). Now I’m not sure how their recent EVs fare, but Daimler has been constantly resistant to change ( going as far as anti-ev propaganda spewed by the CEO making the rounds in right-wing groups ) and that blame lies solely with the company’s management.

“We fucked up managing the company so you will have to take the fall one way or another”

Nah, I’m standing by this conspiracy as well. Something is off about it - the timing, the fkn amateur “hacker” etc

Plus rockstar have drummed up drama in the past to promote their games

Care to elaborate on the Terraria fanbase? I never got into the game, always liked starbound more, but I could not get from them anything besides condescension regarding any other 2d-survival-whatchamacall-this-genre games. It’s terraria or nothing else.
