Yeah so their studio gets downsized, closed or merged. The big companies don't care about the people. Tech lost 10k dev jobs last year, plenty of talent out there desperate.
And with the advent of AI tools and such much more work will be expected from fewer people. It's a cutthroat industry that chews up passionate workers and spits them out when it's done abusing them. The big companies definitely deserve to crash, and if a little bit of piracy can help induce that then I'm even more for it.
