We have reached something between survival mode and post scarcity, if you pay attention it seems that as much as 80% of a first world economy is actually devoted to producing nothing or producing more things that do, or its doing something but at extreme inefficiency.

The survival strategy most middle class game devs in the west have settled upon is to act like parasites to suck up as many resources and to keep game development going as long as possible because the job market is so hard, and to try to justify your own existance while doing as little as possible. A kind of corporate welfare program, mostly for white women and brown women.

I donโ€™t get how this keeps happening. Do the managers not check what their workers are accomplishing?

It was greenlit years ago and they decided to cancel it instead of letting the farce go on. Cancelling the games is the managers checking what their workers are doing.

We are reaching the logical end game from killing western industries decade ago. Purely financialized virtual economies, specialized in producing nothing of real value. A house of cards that we keep from collapsing by printing endless supplies of monopoly money.

You make no sense and come off as an asshole. Just something you should probably hear.

See how easy that is to do without explaining yourself, retard?
