  You’ve never seen a corporation sacrifice its long-term health to report short-term profits, to meet an upcoming quarterly report? Ever?

      I don’t see healthy companies sacrifice their long term fan base and development throughput for short term gains.

      New to Capitalism?

      No, hence my conclusions.

      Well, most people believe that all publicly traded corporations, healthy or otherwise, only focus on their next quarterly report profits, and that long-term strategy and growth goals are really if not never considered.

      Granted, I’d much rather live in your world than mine, but I don’t think you’re correct on this one.

        You don’t see Take Two shoving GTA6 and Judas out the door for profits now, for instance. Paradox abiding by the same MO to burn good will for multiple games and then getting developers off their books is a move you make when you’re out of better options.
