I understand that perspective. In a lot of cases, people sell out because they are burnt out (Notch with Mojang/Minecraft) or because they think it's best for their company and its vision (LucasArts).

I don't think we can have a good solution to this issue until "creating shareholder value" moves down from 1st to 3rd or 4th or lower on the list of priorities for large companies.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
