It's good management from certain perspectives. Whether we actually do something about companies constantly introducing volatility to our social livelihoods, abusing workers, and eroding our buying power is really up to us though. You

I think their product is technically special -- as with all of the commercial game engines -- but they were not in the market position they thought they were, which is what led to them to thinking this was a good idea. Very much an unforced

I don't know who gets employment contracts that allow negotiation like that (certainly not regular developers under $150k), but my hunch is it would never have been people they're rescinding offers to.

Sometimes they get enough of a pool to choose from in a short amount of time, so it doesn't make sense to leave it open for longer. I prefer companies delist it rather than leave it up and simply ignore further applications.

Higher costs of living make relocation and in-office work more restrictive, but that isn't a big concern for remote. Same for the travel burden. It would be very natural to see remote salaries become lower than in-office salaries on co
