  The ceo makes $96.5 million a year. Where’s the “accountability margins” when that was decided? These companies and their decisions really show how stupid the stock market really is. At least that’s the way I see it being uneducated from the outside

    This should be severely punishable by the law. It causes more societal harm than many crimes with serious penalties.

      Cap executive pay at 12x the lowest paid employee in the company. You can’t make more in one month than the drones make in a year. If you want a raise make sure everyone else gets one too.

  They are asking the impossible. If they refuse to take any risks on new titles they will not have breakout hits like they are wanting. They have enough studios that you can have some stinker releases that get offset by the surprise hits.

    The best part is, once they get a surprise hit they can fold the studio and lay everyone off, ensuring that nobody but Execs reap the rewards!

  We made decisions that have absolutely decimated the value of our brand. Now go make money from the ashes!

  Soooooo they’ve crippled their game making divisions with layoffs that obliterated employee morale so that they had more money to throw at AI, and now they’re demanding that this same section of the company offset even more of their AI costs because it’s one of the few parts of the company that actually makes money?

  Reminds me of how Hasbro is milking WotC for all they’re worth while destroying faith in the brand.

    makes me wonder if the acquisitions were just a win/win strategy - acquire all these studios, milk them with unreasonable demands, cut the workforces constantly, then close up the studio but keep all the ip.

    because that’s how it’s fucking going

      It’s also going to result in the destruction of the Xbox brand though. Whatever they release, no one’s going to buy it. Anyone who’s smart already releases on multiple platforms if they release for Xbox, and this will only exacerbate the issue.

    I feel sad that the Captain is used to stand for the morally wrong side in this joke. Especially from this scene, I faintly recall it was about not doing enough to save or help some people.
