    Well as long as the executives get bonuses and the 7-layer middle management cake remains intact. That’s the talent and skill that really matter at a video game company, right?

      In Capitalism, the product is not the goal. Maximizing profits is the only thing that matters. In End-Game Capitalism, things start getting weird sometimes.

      I’m shocked about this too but I think it’s hubris + the size of the market. Lots of dollars to be made, and so you get these slimy weasels with bland faces coming in, never having loved a game in their life, and coming to the conclusion: Oh gamers just stare at a screen with colorful things? Hey we could just make it a shop front, where you can buy colors in the colorful screen but pay us real money.
