        Sbi needs to go back to the cave they crawled out of.

        Since when were corporations NOT greedy? It’s hilarious you think that it’s only now that they got greedy, lmao

          Please point out where I implied that corporations got greedy “only now”. Hint: i said “since forever”, the implication is that they were always shit. Then again, can’t expect much from you.

      All of those are due to the drastic increase in jobs during covid. This is happening in many, many tech related careers. It is not because of inclusivity. Get your head out of your ass.

        That’s a factor, but it’s not the only reason, jackass. Look at the games that failed and how they were backed by activists, which led to studio closures.

        Ubisoft is mostly subsidized in Quebec by taxpayers, and they have their lowest profits ever because of activists as well.

          Or maybe it’s because we’re sick of assassin’s creed n², you numpty. Go seek to confirm your biases elsewhere

              It’s because of their shitty horrible business practices, nobody wants to pay $100 for a rushed game and nobody wants to invest time into their 500th live service game that they’ll stop supporting in a year.

                That only relates to the price, not how terribly the game was made.

                  You would have to jump through a lot of hoops to conclude that activism makes you a bad game developer. If they’re exploiting their customers constantly to try to increase profit margins, they are more than likely exploiting their workers, who they have much more control over.

                    Not really, all the current failures in gaming are attributed to activism in games. Dustborn, Concord, veilguard, etc
