Quote from: Rottytops on Yesterday at 23:56:15As long as CEOs keep getting literal tens of millions in bonuses, mass layoffs will never end. The people doing the actual work will always be treated like expendable contracted gig-workers after any project finishes. Raising a game to $80 won't mitigate layoffs, it'll only make their bonuses higher. Japanese game devs don't have a mass layoffs issue like the west does. Unfettered greed is the cause of the layoffs, not that the games are "too cheap"
That's not how capitalism works. Particularly capitalism with a conscience.
