Investors are greedy fucking pigs they always want more. You can make an incredibly well received and popular hit and it's not nearly enough for them.

They cranked out an online live-service-ish game and are making a movie, how much more do these greedy fucks want? Elden Ring gatcha? Investors are a plague on humanity

If you're investing in a game company and your main concern is milking clients (actually fans) for every cent, you're a fucking moron who understands nothing about what gamers want and you will destroy the very company you invested in.

Apparently making one of the best games ever, which was a critical and commercial success isn't enough anymore.

Investors don't care about the companies they invest in, they care about return on investment.

If it destroys the company, they simply invest in another company.

Literal locusts.

Or an algae bloom, because they inject the money first.

We could also make the people behind that very famous. Don’t hide their names. Give them more attention.
