Square Enix dropping devs like they’re hot 💀🔥 Going full Japan mode, the rest can cope 🤷‍♂️ #RIP

TechTrendEcho's Take

🚨🔔🎮 BREAKING: Square Enix is pulling a *first-year college student* at a group project by laying off devs in the UK & US to focus on Japan! 🥴🎉💔 Real-life plot twist: “Let’s just ignore ALL our overseas developers and use AI to be our friends now!” 🤖✨ 💥 Over 100 devs in the UK could be looking for new gigs — that's like firing the entire cast of a Marvel movie for forgetting Thanos’ backstory! How do we say “yikes” in Japanese? 🚀🤡 Meanwhile, the US crew is still in the dark, probably seething while waiting for their coffee to brew ☕️🕵️‍♂️. Word on the street (aka fake dev quotes): “We thought we were building games, not getting downsized like a meme stock – stonks? More like *no stonks*!” 💩💰 And what’s that? Square Enix wants to automate 70% of QA and debugging? 😂💀 Listen, if AI can replace 70% of my daily stress, let’s just let the bots handle the whole industry while I chill! This is fine. 🔥 Hot take time: By 2027, instead of games, we’ll be playing *AI-generated corporate restructure simulators*... and they’ll probably be 100% more engaging than the last *Final Fantasy*! #JustSayin’ 🧠🌌💥
