@_Credible_Hulk The best way for the economy to thrive is to have an even goal of enriching workers (to buy more with more disposable income) and being able to enrich investors capital (by properly distributing equitable not equal dividens) based on their contribution to the company.
@_Credible_Hulk Think of it like this. If farmers (companies) took care of every plant in their field (the stock market), eventually, the parasitic plants like weeds and vines (shareholders) suck out the nutrients (wealth distribution) from proper crops (their employees/consumers)
@LabradorBored@ErhardtKyle@RealKittyRawr@PlayStation Steam has a comprehensive lisence agreement that actually helps consumers and only acts as a distribution hub for games. The lisence is also tied to the TOS as well as the fact that the data can't be ripped from your device or library on a whim
@LabradorBored@ErhardtKyle@RealKittyRawr@PlayStation Short term, but unlike most stock chuds I invest for the long term and Sony lost the plot for long term engagement is places like steam or Xbox actually succeed in giveing a better market for both consumers and developers.
@dibbstar88310@ErhardtKyle@RealKittyRawr@PlayStation Overall that's how they lose money. Not by greed and chokeing out the ecosystem, by slow and deliberate cuts they make to themselves over a long period of time
@dibbstar88310@ErhardtKyle@RealKittyRawr@PlayStation People with bad internet infrastructure being choked out by high bandwidth, sales due to price increases, prices for online games rise instead of drop thus leading to more penny pinching. This also relies on the fact that people need an internet connection to play. Many don't.
@D33ski368048@ErhardtKyle@RealKittyRawr@PlayStation I broker, so I should know how the history of decisions like this harm the bottom dollar, the psp go was a mess, xbox drm from 2013 was a fail, the attempt to get more PS users by forceing them to get a PS account failed and they were hated for it. Its gonna hurt them long term
@Seramurai_ Tbh we'll see by q2 of 2027. Or by 4 of this year being like February. With 51% of last year's revenue being subscriptions and micros, it dosent look good, especially after that stock dump from senior staff. Even if it's normal all of it happening at once is gonna make it rough
