Execs ruin everything for short term profit, that’s just their job.
It’s time to unionize when the shitheads at the top keep firing everyone after they complete a blockbuster game or a merger/acquisition for the sole purpose of padding their bank account.
A few lyrics from NoFX come to mind.
“Kick back, watch it crumble See the drowning Watch the fall I feel just terrible about it That’s sarcasm, let it burn”
"Where did all their money go?
Don’t we all know? Parasitic [gaming] industry As it destroys itself We’ll show them how it’s supposed to be"
"Dinosaurs will slowly die And I do believe no one will cry I’m just fucking glad I’m gonna be There to watch the fall
Pre-Historic [gaming] industry Three feet in La Brea tar Extinction never felt so good"
Switch a few words and it works perfectly well.
Gamers need to realise it’s all about the indies. Buy indie, screw AAA. Watch them grow and hire those talented folk that deserve better than this bullshit.
