    Not a single fucking CEO understands art and games. They only thing they understand is profit$. That’s all that matters to them.

    Of something can’t generate a profit, it’s essentially useless. Art? If you can sell it at a profit it’s good. Or doesn’t matter if nobody will ever see it. Oxygen producing trees, sea weed, algae? Not worth a damn until it’s cut down, collected, and sold. Food, water, shelter and basic human needs? Gotta make a profit. Don’t matter if we can produce tons and people are going hungry, homeless and thirsty, if we can’t generate a profit.

    Capitalism is a fucking cancer. And these guys are the rogue cells that make it grow.

      They are blinded by their own goals, and forget how things are interconnected. Or maybe its just arrogance.

      I’ve seen it on the smaller business side too. They want immediate profit, so cut key staff when the work slows a bit, rather than carry the veterans till the next projects. Then complain that things aren’t getting done and the costs to outsource the missing skill set is high.

      While the lower levels are like : this is exactly as we predicted it would go.
