Imo, the part of this whole controversy that’s really been danced around is how much of the disputed $250m bonus is developer bonus and how much is executive bonus. I would be very interested in more details around this breakdown and eligibility if anyone has seen it.

As far as I’ve seen, the only indicator that this was anything other than an executive bonus dispute was one executive claiming they were totally going to share it with the rest of the team after the shit went down and the story was in the press. Sorry if I find that claim less than reputable. What Krafton did was undeniably greedy and illegal, but how worked up am I supposed to get about executive payouts? It seems like the other employees weren’t in the sale language at all, and there’s a very real possibility they may end up getting larger bonuses now that the executives have resorted to using their development team as a tool to garner additional public sympathy.

Give it time. War aint over yet.

The articles you linked don’t seem to have anything to do with your comment. Afaik, at least 2 people died in protests against the revocation of a single group’s special religious exemption to military service. The parties that were at the forefront of those protests still support Netanyahu and if either of them stopped supporting him it would be enough to turn the ruling coalition’s majority.

The bailout is the government purchasing shares at about to go bankrupt prices. It’s a reasonable take that isn’t even really a change in the system.

Unfortunately there’s also civilian collateral damage when they aren’t fighting each other.

Fiduciary duty is just white-collar-washed sociopathy.
