Yeah,. It's a for-profit company with publicly traded stock. Their one and only concern is their bottom line, decrease costs, increase profits. If you want a nonprofit videogame co-op that's gamer first then you're more than free to go start one.

This is such a shit argument. Reminds me of Linux forums.

"Ya that sucks it doesn't work, go find the repo and download the source and fix it yourself"

By this logic, Linux is for programmers. And gaming is for business people.

Weird flex, but okay.

Not really an argument, it's more so a statement of fact. Businesses exist for one reason alone, to within the confines of the law generate more capital than they spend. If you want an organization whose goal is something else then you need a non-profit organization. A for-profit is by definition for profit. They don't call it capitalism by accident.

You misunderstand my comment. I'm referring to this:

I am well aware how corporations work.
