If anyone needed any more evidence why investor driven companies should stay out of gaming.

should stay out of gaming.

And education, health care, sports, food production, food consumption, technology, energy...Is anyone noticing a trend? This is the real Touch of Midas.

What should they be in control of then? That’s the default market hegemony.

We even have publicly traded utilities ffs. And of course medical care. Those would be the first places to start.

Founders?

A gaming studio will likely need investors unless its a small indie shop, but it can still be founder driven vs investor driven.
