You came so close to understanding and completely missed it.

It’s got that thing that so many reviewers, in my opinion, way undervalue (as is their prerogative, everyone has their own view on what is important) - it is fun to play.

Wouldn’t an actual socialist consider excess participation in materialism directly detrimental to their long term goals?

Do people expect him to donate 90% of his income and live in artificial poverty for the sake of an image?

Every emerging new tech is a scam until it isn’t.

Has there ever been a studio with this much money that is this publicly hilariously inept, out of touch, and thin-skinned at the same time?

Right, none of thats saying ‘China only for NetEase’.  Certainly means they’re trying to get into that market though.  

I’m really looking for where it talks about anything being “China-only for NetEase” but I can’t find a single mention of that.

It must be really nice to live in the fantastical world you live in.

Its not just one thing.

The incentive is that they wouldn’t need parachutes and new jobs to sail on to, wouldn’t need to loot and burn through companies until no one else will take them, if they exercised some long-term thinking and invested in their existing company.

There is no way Microsoft would’ve been able to buy out ABK if they weren’t already on life-support after nearly a decade of decline.

Why have that when you could have a securely-invested and sensibly managed company that will continue to be profitable for decades to come?

It makes sense when you consider that the goal is to loot as much as possible. Sure, in the long run said tactics cost more to the company. But that’s largely inconsequential when it comes to personal gain. And once you’re high enough up in these things to be able to make those decisions your performance, and thus…

So let me let you in on a little secret that will make it make sense...

Of course not. But they are morally bankrupt.

Random human allied with the covenant is my only issue.
