EA buyout, as well as Embracer Group fumble from a few years ago is a perfect example of how vidya "industry titans" are run in a fundamentally wrong way. Not in a mismanagement/activist sense, but just straight up incorrect. Running a company is an infinite game (where bankruptcy is the loss condition), while the position of a CEO or a shareholder is a finite game (where striking it rich on ROI is a win condition). But unlike other publicly traded companies which rely on tangible consumer goods, commercial art is way too volatile. So when publishers can't reliably hit sales projections, all they can do is engage in speculative nonsense. CEOs are no longer incentivized to make profits off the product they are selling, but off selling their problems to somebody else, and bailing out.
Everybody wants to get their fingers in a pie like Minecraft or Fortnite, but nobody can stomach a flop. Nobody but a genuinely invested founder who is happy with his company just staying afloat. That does not make you immune to Concordian levels of disasters, but at least you can be sure that you are not dependent on investors ready to discard you to speculate on BTC.
The moral of this story? Selling out is fake and gay.

Ignoring the fact that op is a retarded sperg, it IS pretty interesting how different media have no qualms with gruesome murder, but are extremely shy with rape
I guess its cause people have gone through rape and are still around, meanwhile nobody has been killed before (cause they are all dead) so maybe we can relate to rape more than murder

>can spend a turn for random chance to acquire enemy spells if they choose to cast it that turn
>given no indication as to whether you can even learn a particular spell until you finally succeed at the chance to learn

>most of the spells you can learn are garbage anyways
Breath of Fire 3's examine system seems very undercooked unless I'm missing something.
