So, CEO earned 40 million for actually doing nothing while most valuable in company - passionate WORKERS- are left with underpaying salary?

Oooh, so serious. Is your house decorated in all black and skulls?

No taxes for low income, oh you sweet summer child. You’re in for a rude awakening if you think that’s how Scandinavian capitalism works. Healthcare does not necessitate “socialist capitalism.” That term is a meme. Scandinavian countries are not socialist. Also, wait till you find out Scandinavia has lower corporate tax rates than USA.

No, there are less sick and extremely poor people all over the world than there were simply 10 years ago. One bad year in 2020 and 4 bad years under Trump are not going to ruin the world. The tide of humanity has been leaning towards greater and greater prosperity with less and less suffering for a long time, and this trend is unlikely to stop, despite all the naysayers.

Welcome to capitalism where the powerful look after the powerful.
Not sure what you expect when the people who are powerful are also the ones who make the rules.

So what you’re saying is that if we get rid of Kotick, we also change how Blizzard operates?

This sounds like a win win.

So you think if you’re in a corporation, you should be liable if your boss commits a crime?

I just had a funny thought, are there any communist politicians running for president? I never hear from them, Rep. & Dem. then the occasional independent but never any communist :thinking: I think the communist party should have representation

He can take whatever he can loot from the fridge on the way out.

That seems fair.

Put those passionate workers in the chamber of assembly and see what happens.

CEO, CFO, CTO etc usually don’t get their titles because they are lucky.

And in what way is this relevant? Have things before 1980 been so star spangled perfect that capitalism was absolutely re-imagined with no issues?

All companies do the same. Whats bad is they pay such a low dividend percent so they screw employees and investors. They will have good numbers due to call of duty for the last quarter.

A huge problem that, unfortunately, signifies an even larger problem in the video game industry, although it does seem like the worst of it happens directly under Activision.

The only way this will change is if developers unionize.

You should read the article about Treyarch’s development cycle on Black Ops IV. It’s very eye-opening and forced me to quit playing the game because of how disgusting some of the practices were.
