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.
@Daojoan the other people (don’t have to name them) first convince these people that they don’t know how to do business properly, then start making the product bad, then fight the customer, then ask for a bailout
@m104 @Daojoan Terry Pratchett (#GNUTerryPratchett ) explained this process in a very easily digestible way in Going Postal. And it has a happy ending where the passionate person gets to keep the company!
@Robotistry Yes! Going Postal is literally one of my book recs for people who either haven’t read Pratchett or who have lost their passion for reading altogether 😊
