Lose the 'infinite growth' promise to shareholders (in fact, lose the whole shareholder thing entirely). That's the root of all evil right there. It's the cause of all woes suffered by gamers, devs and even the very sociopathic CEOs who think Epic exclusivity is a sound financial strategy. We all suffer for it, and all to benefit shareholders who, in 2024, still believe the lie that next year's profits will exceed this year's. It's delusional, and even if it weren't, it would quite literally be cancerous. Cancer is just a board of shareholders in a biological system.
