^Ultimately, I think the biggest problem with this is the investors. Like sure, CEOs are wanting to make as much money as possible, but part of it is pleasing investors. If companies aren't growing significantly and making exhorbitant amounts of money at all times, investors panic and that means bad news for the company as a result. That's also why layoffs happen so that investors can be pleased for the short term.
It's a system that needs to either be reformed or to stop, honestly. Otherwise it's gonna cause the AAA market to crash.
The problem is that publicly traded corporations are basically legally obligated to always grow by any means necessary.
The reason I trust Valve with my game library and not any of the others is that Valve is a
private
company without
any
shareholders to please.
