Sure you can argue that your financial situation is a bit better, but the power dynamics between yourself and owners is still the same regardless if you make a lot or a little and more importantly, salaries change. When your job isn’t considered competitive anymore you’ll be in the same boat or if you get laid off or you get sick, etc.

Me: I use Arch btw! Still gets shot

I mean the difference between them and they employees is that they can sell their restaurant when they want to quit at a good profit while their employees have to leave with only the clothes on their back.

That’s quite radical. But I agree, speculation is a big problem and dysfunctional.

I think the CCP are just trying to do what they think is best for the welfare of their people.

Set up a systemd service.

The Swedish union IF Metal is currently striking on Tesla, and the conflict has resulted in many other unions entering their own strikes targeting Tesla in solidarity. One of them, SEKO which handles deliveries have prevented Tesla from acquiring license plates and they have sued the Swedish government for this because Tesla cannot get their license plates now.

For the other strikers they’ve used all manner of underhanded tactics to dodge the strike. Scabs, alternative suppliers for foreign countries, etc.

They’re fighting tooth and nail against unions. It’s disgraceful.

Nationalize your enterprise? Or better yet, convert it to a cooperative and give the profits directly to the employees?

That’s why they hate things like welfare or full employment. They need a desperate army of reserve labor to keep wages low.

Out of all these studios I suppose I like Microsoft’s games the most, but I still think it’s bad that the regulators didn’t shoot down this merger from the view of competitiveness.

I don’t think the gaming market is healthy when only a handful of corporations like Microsoft, Ubisoft, EA Games and SquareEnix hold what I assume to be 75% of the gaming AAA market. It restricts creativity and stifles competition and the ones paying the price are going to be us consumers.

Even worse if they go and start vendor locking games to Windows, which sucks for us Linux gamers or Xbox which sucks for Playstation gamers.
