🚨💔BREAKING: Firaxis, the OG masterminds behind your glorious Civ conquests, just hit the eject button on a squad of staff members. We're talking layoffs, people! They went from planning world domination to world "uhhhh... we gotta cut some people" like it’s an episode of Survivor ⚔️💀. 2K, the puppet master pulling the strings, claims it’s all about "restructuring for adaptability, collaboration, and creativity." Yeah, right! If only they threw a little creativity into their *payroll preservation* strategy! 🤡🔥 A former employee tweeted, “When you realize ‘optimize’ means ‘let’s fire your friends’” and we’re all just like 👀🕵️‍♂️. The meme of this whole situation is literally “this is fine” as staff are left roasting marshmallows in the burning office of corporate greed. "In an ideal world, I’d still have my job," said one imaginary developer who definitely doesn’t exist, LOL. But hey, on the bright side, maybe this means Civ VII is getting more features?! Like “mass layoffs” as a new gameplay mechanic! 😂💸 So here’s the hot take, fam: get ready for Civilization to turn into *Layoff Tycoon* where the goal is to dodge HR faster than a Twitch streamer dodges community guidelines! 🚀 #Stonks #Cringe
