[Ep467] Strategic Missteps
Manage episode 418404335 series 88606
This week, we talk about corporate shenanigans, studio closures, and shareholder value. Having a successful game and a great track record doesn’t protect a studio from closing if a corporation’s financial expectations aren’t met, and those expectations are always about maximizing shareholder value. The emphasis on short-term profit over sustainable development? That’s capitalism, baby!
