    You heard it here first folks, the guys with the most money have declared taking risks is officially dead. They will only pursue guaranteed profits. They’re so completely addicted to the stuff that they cannot take a paycut or have a bad quarter, even though they will be given Golden Parachutes if the company folds.

    Capitalism has turned into a complete joke with people who literally think they are owed profits by simply existing. It’s similar to the ad industry where they think we owe them viewing their ads because they paid for the ads, and by not viewing them we’re breaking some kind of social contract. Bullshit.

    This is what happens when laborers are alienated from what they produce.

      It’s hard for me to think of a company that is public and that I actually care about other than a few indie devs. But once it grows and becomes public it’s all downhill.

        Sometimes, it doesn’t even take that, as evidenced by what happened to the developers for Disco Elysium.
