I only wish ill fate for the companies. At least ill enough to wake the fuck up and realise a company that sells games should never have a monetisation director.
"Companies". As if it's some nebulous organism that's alive, as if the building it encompasses is independent of action.
Despite what some kangaroo american court, "Companies" are not living, independent people. They're made of people. And if a company does something shitty or acts toxic, that's because of the people who run it. The building, the logo, the "company" isn't what deserves I'll fate wished up - it's the assholes like the monetization director.
Yes and no.
You can't blame the director of monetization for doing his job. You can blame the owner and the board of directors for going that route.
Those decision makers are what I mean when I call out the company, not the developer that's just doing what he's paid for.
You can monetize in ways that can't be summed up as "gambling"
You wouldn't need a monetization CEO then when the mission wasn't to implement sleazy and addicting tactics.
Yes you can? I could probably find a job kicking homeless people, that wouldn't mean i wasn't an awful person for taking that job. I get doing bad things to make a bag when you're desperate, but that dude is no doubt a rich prick that could easily retire by now.
