My hottest of hot takes: the only people who should run companies that make things are people who deeply give a fuck about those things. Only people who love games and love playing games should run companies that make games. Doesn’t matter if it’s cheeseburgers or software.

Star Trek has been flarging this up for years. We get good Trek in spite of who's controlling it, not because of them.

Abrams and Kurtzman don't even like Star Trek while Seth McFarland went out and made his own loving homage show because he loves Trek so much. Paramount hates Trek.

@jrdepriest @Daojoan Greedy neoliberalism reduces everything to a balance sheet.

The problem is that a huge amount of authoritarians are very comfortable sucking up to them, and even feel safe & secure while making careers out of it!

We went through an evolutionary squeeze where being obedient guaranteed you offspring, and this is the result.

(Is that a Tron bit in your profile pic btw?!!🤩)
