I'm worried for them to be honest, the expectations and hype are going to be off the charts, impossible to meet most likely.

I mean, I'll buy whatever game they make next but I don't think anyone can hit BG3 levels twice.

Man, the internet archive is one of the good sites that's not a puke gobbling corporate, can we direct attacks to someone worthy of the heat instead?

"... accelerate the Company’s revenue growth and profitability.”

Yeah, that's the problem.

This guy is an incredibly dangerous parasite with apex predator instincts. Fucking up games is one thing, but stepping closer to the social fabric is a next level concern.

Jesus Christ, can we leave things alone that aren't infinitely growing

So they're cashing in by selling other people's conversations.

Yeah.

Motherfuckers tried to get away from responsibility for their own systems?

Air Canada, disgusting.

The thing is that this guy is not the head of a public company where shareholders demand massive and continually growing profits. So he acts in the interests of the consumer, the customer, the gamer. But if this was a public company, shareholders would buy shares and then demand he do something to grow that share price, so they can sell the shares later for profit.

When that happens we see that CEOs do everything they can to maximize profits, like promising release dates in earnings calls.

The difference between private and public companies is the single biggest threat to us all because as soon as the company acts in the exclusive interest of profit, everything else gets fucked. And most do.

That means employees, customers, everyone. Only the 1% benefit from the gutting of everyone else.

I didn't even realize this was a thing. We can't be friends with older people now?

I mean if it's not sexual and you're just buddies I'm not where the problem is.

It will not stop. The government won't step in, because they are all in on it. Their money comes first, above all else. The way they treat me homeless people today is how you will be treated tomorrow.

There is only one way to stop the runaway cancer of greed, and it's not by writing angry notes.

Merry Christmas to all those families!

Yes, we had record profits but our CEO has the job of raising the share price so that investors can buy and sell higher, so we have to find more profits somewhere.

You understand.

Just as they announced their profitable quarter.

This isn't to "Save costs". It's to further boost profits at any measure, which is what publically traded companies want. Happy investors.
