    Sounds like he’s saying that when game companies go public (or voluntarily put money before fun), the enshittification sets in.

    Small studios with heart still make fun games.

      So… shareholders are the assholes yet again.

      Some studio should sell shares only to true gamers who put fun before money

    Video game jobs, when I was in the industry at least, draw in young idealistic game developers, pay them less than other tech counterparts, burn them out as fast as possible and then lay them off.

    It is definitely hard to enjoy that and come out the other side still as excited about games.
