Star Citizen has not gone 1.0.

They are just talking about it. Going to still be years before they go 1.0. They still haven’t delivered Alpha 4.0 yet. In fact, I believe they are talking 1.0 to distract us from the fact they haven’t delivered alpha 4.0. Likely their server meshing tests uncovered complicated bugs that will take time to deal with.

t3rmit3,

Who is talking about 1.0? The last Letter from the Chairman, published 4 days ago, is all about Alpha 4.0, not 1.0. All of the recent ISCs and SCLs have been about 3.23 and 4.0 features.

ursakhiin,

It’s a bunch of people taking CR out of context. They talk about 1.0 in that letter, but only as something they are aiming for long term.

EchoCT,

Yeah. I saw that and just knew people would take it out of context. CR said their internal roadmap and plans for 1.0 are done. That’s it.

They’re putting a LOT of stuff in right now, but we’re still a ways out from ‘1.0’.

haui_lemmy, do games w Horizon Forbidden West release date, PUBG's publisher filed for a lawsuit and Microsoft market of layoffs

It should be illegal to lay off people without cause while making profits.

nikt,

Termination with “cause” has special meaning in employment law. It usually means getting fired for theft, fraud, harassment, causing irreparable harm to the company, etc.

One consequence of getting fired with cause is you don’t get severance or most other protections you’re normally entitled to by law. So, the bar for this kind of termination is (rightfully) very high.

Poor performance or even not showing up for work at all generally don’t meet the requirements for “cause”, so I dunno if making it illegal to let people go for anything other than straight up committing illegal or harmful acts makes sense.

haui_lemmy,

Welcome to europe. Poor performance, unless evidently on purpose, coming late (unless regularly) isnt cause here either and it is illegal to let anyone outside of 6 month probation go without cause.

The US system is shit and one reason for suicide rates, poverty and overt greed of large companies. Its disgusting.

Meltrax,

Well it doesn’t help that our health insurance is directly tied to our employment. So if you get laid off then need a prescription you’re right fucked.

haui_lemmy,

The US system is stacked completely against the employee and akin to mild slavery imo.

Meltrax,

Yeah we are basically serfs here.

haui_lemmy,

What is a serf?

Meltrax,

A farm worker in the feudal system, usually “owned” by the property for which they worked.

haui_lemmy,

That is very accurate then. :)

nikt,

Yeah that’s an absolutely grotesque situation. I’m in Canada though so it’s a bit different.

In practice people also don’t get fired here on a an employer’s whim. Not because it’s not allowed by law but because fired employees can sue for wrongful dismissal, and for most employers it’s not worth the risk, so there’s usually a long HR process for firing someone for poor performance.

eltrain123,

What happens if a business is losing money and can’t afford to employ its whole staff? Do they have to shut the whole business down instead of letting a certain percentage of underperformers go without cause? How is that handled in Europe?

I am genuinely asking because I have only ever experienced American employment.

If a business can’t afford its staff it shouldn’t exist at all

haui_lemmy,

It depends on the country but in germany, below 10 employees you have at will employment. Everyone else is only allowed to employ as many employees as they can afford. If your company is in crisis, you can ask the government for an emergency exemption to lay off a certain amount of people while making sure that they get new jobs asap (the employment agency works with them to qualify laid off employees so they find new employment fast).

The important part is that there is always a reason why someone is underperformant. If its not on purpose, the employer must make a case or find agreement with the employee which is often done.

Its really no big deal and the giant german corporations that compete internationally are evidence that it works.

The difference is that the employer is not godlike as they apparently are in the US.

Edit: source: I worked for the employment agency.

Meltrax,

Ok so if you read the second thing I said, it’s that it should be illegal to lay off some people while giving raises to others.

The idea is, sometimes, you don’t have profit and do have to lay people off. And that can be ok. If you have enough revenue to somehow still give your executive raises, that is fucked up.

You angrily agreed with me.

Meltrax,

Businesses sometimes need to consolidate expenses for long term planning. I understand this.

What should be illegal is laying off regular employees while awarding record high pay, raises, and bonuses to c-suite level employees.

haui_lemmy,

consolidate expenses for long term planning.

Sorry, I dont speak corpo. I had a company myself for 7 yrs. There is no excuse for laying off people while making profits as long as they’re doing their job ok and you‘re not in a rough situation as a company.

The ease with which american companies can get rid of their employees is disgusting.

Especially people from the US and young people dont seem to know that companies are not supposed to make profits every year. Listening to nowadays business news is like „company xyz made 3% less profit than last quarter. Record layoffs coming!“

I‘m glad that this isnt sustainable and i‘m sure it will implode. Waiting for it every day.

Meltrax,

Did you not read the rest of my post?

haui_lemmy,

I did. But saying something else later doesnt make corpo apologism any better.

@yamanii@lemmy.world avatar

I’m glad at least the professional vtubers that I watch all played it just fine, Nintendo has too much power, just hope the devs don’t get into any mysterious fatal accidents since Big N’s headquarters is right in the middle of a yakuza territory.

@Cybersteel@lemmy.world avatar

Anycolor has Pokémon perms to stream whenever they want as opposed to just for a month. Other companies don’t have that sort of perms so they’ll probably don’t care as much.

I mean the dev should be fine as long as they’re not Japanese. I feel like most survival crafting game dev are based in eastern europe.

They are japanese, located in japan, the dude that made the reload animations was working on a konbini.

JohnEdwa,

They went to gitlab, it was inevitable. And probably planned - what better advertisement for your name than a round of news and articles about the takedown. And now they are on a private git so for the next round, Nintendo has to actually sue them as well.
