How much fucking money do they need?

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 36 points 11 months ago (2 children)

all the money. literally nothing less than all the money in the entire world is enough.

And even then, they'll want more. That's capitalism

Yep. For that you need a finance industry, so you can get people to give you money they haven't even earned yet. The important thing is you don't stop spending or else the whole thing collapses

Most video game companies, or at least the huge ones, are all paying a negative tax rate.

They're a publicly traded company -- stock price has to go up.

So more. Always more.

As much as we let them keep making.

I wonder if adguard for desktop or portmaster would be helpful for this issue. I can't get portmaster to work on my system, mostly because some of its processes require the execution of BAT files, my antivirus will block those.

It's not how much. It's how much more. They expect and require infinite growth.
