When you celebrate layoffs at a studio because the game that you don't like didn't do that well, you're crossing a line
No you don't? If you do a bad job and get fired for it, it's not crossing the line just consequences of doing bad job. Your circumstances aren't really relevant here, just own your mistakes and move on.
- I don't think that those who are responsible for game being bad are the ones being laid off
- Congrats on missing the entire point of what the guy is saying.
  The people losing their jobs are not the ones making the decisions that created a (subjectively) bad product.
- Thats fucked up dude. Those people lost their livelihood.
  
  Maybe someone else will take that livelihood and make a better game.
  
  They dropped the whole writing and editing teams. Do you think it was everyones fault in those teams?
- There's everything the other comments said but there is also an important distinction in "celebrating". I would argue that while layoffs as an event are a potentially logical outcome of a bad game, it is the act of celebrating and/or calling for those layoffs that is crossing the line.
