CEO is the
boss of a company (Chief Executive Officer) – often appointed by a big multicorporate enterprise that owns the subordinate company – who's job it is to finish and/or rush out a product the company is known for (often a video
game) to create revenue and profit for the superordinate multicorporate enterprise as soon as possible, after which the company is closed down and the employees are either
fired or transferred to another position within the multicorporate enterprise.
This often involves threatening employees with the closure of the company or losing their jobs if they don't perform as asked, pressuring them to compete with each other and do excessive work hours ("crunching"). Ironically actually achieving the goals
set by the killsqueeze
CEO usually won't change the company's fate. After the company is closed down, the killsqueeze
CEO receives compensation by the superordinate multicorporate enterprise or is given another job or position within that multicorporate enterprise while the employees are being fired or transferred to save costs and maximize profit of the product.
Killsqueeze
CEO's are often appointed if a
game studio underperforms and takes too long to make a video
game, threating a financial loss for the publisher (= multicorporate enterprise). They'
re being appointed to rush out the
game in an unfinished state to allow people to buy it (often as falsely labelled "Early Access").
Mr. Satoutsi is being appointed as a killsqueeze
CEO to Unknown Planets
Game Studios effective immediately to rush the development of "Underwater Party 2" and release it in an unfinished state to make people buy the
game early and compensate the losses of the studio - which has been in development hell according to insiders.
