Line must go up MFer

Corporations are beholden to their shareholders, yes - but the issue is more down to the fact that we seem to have forgotten that shareholders have the intellect of a toddler.. give them free reign and they’ll eat pure sugar for dinner and then complain about a tummy ache.

The line can still go up by delivering quality experiences (as mentioned elsewhere: BG3, RDR2 & hopefully GTA6); by taking care of your stakeholders (which includes employees and customers), it results in higher long-term returns for everyone.

But again, shareholders are toddlers and the current system is giving them free reign.
