The absolute CARNAGE of beloved studios being consumed by these gaming overlords!

The Invisible Benefits Package

The punchline is literally invisible! That empty pie chart with no legend entries matching the colorful segments is the perfect representation of corporate buyout promises. You're looking at a graph where the colored sections (red, green, blue, yellow) don't correspond to any of the listed benefits (salary, wellness, mental health, confidence). It's like when management promises "synergy" and "exciting opportunities" but delivers... *gestures vaguely at nothing*. The technical term for this is "data visualization gore" and any engineer who's survived an acquisition knows exactly what those missing legend colors actually represent: anxiety, overtime, and updating your resume while pretending to be in a Zoom meeting.
