The shareholders aren’t making enough money until every worker’s dreams are crushed.
Not even then. I think the thing that’s easy to forget about shareholders is they’re not doing this because they’re evil and get off on watching people suffer. They’re doing it because their own personal inadequacies are so vast that the only way they can cope with life is by trying to fill that enormous emotional hole with money. As a result, even when every other person on the planet has been crushed and ground into paste, and just one person with this mindset finally owns everything… it still won’t be enough for them. They will still be left with that unfillable emotional hole. They will still be empty inside.

I’ve been through a similar process (as an employee) and all I can keep thinking is “Fuck you.” after every sentence this guy says.
So Xbox bought the studio about 3 years ago and then just went ‘nah, not profitable.’ Fuck Xbox.
