Won't someone think of the poor Ceos and their yacht payments?

I can't even read that number

I mean, that's not even the cost of one super yacht.

it's the same as he got last year, but a far cry from the 800,000,000 he "projected"

It's not profit they care about anymore, it has to be growth.

That CEO paid me 1$ per idea of mine they decided to patent. If I refused, they would pull my name off the inventor list. I never got the 5$.

The whole industry is a Ponzi scheme.

We need unions, just like Hollywood.

It's honestly kinda odd that so many gamers are right wing weirdos because I feel like the inherent flaws of capitalism are more visible in game development than in most other art forms.

Because GamerGate was about sexually frustrated men being gleeful at receiving instructions to attack a woman. Those men are lead to hate *anything* because of their sad dicks and refusal to change their sad lives through actual introspection and therapy when the echo chamber validates them NOW.

Misses the point. Capitalism is bad for the people *who make games*, but the average reactionary gamer sees those people as, at best, defective servants who constantly fuck up their pure, perfect gaming experience with bugs and woke and not balanced and too hard and who deserve their poor treatment.
