EDIT kinda sad really for all their problems on the managerial side, and the work/life balance stuff ; their creatives tended to consistently come up with some bang up solid ideas and game loops.
European videogame companies are government funded.
Saudi arabia crashed them in 2022 and caused an economic recession by spike up the gas price while dropping the stock market like a brick.
Anything that is a shell company is bought up. The successful games has a team of 5 people and is bought up to harvest one more golden egg before cutting off the head just like EA used to be doing in the early alpha 00's.
By buying up companies they're to somehow gain market value.
Videogame companies are government funded and core intention for first person shooters is guide systems to missile weapons and robotics. Or preperation of the mind to the violence of the future.
The private market now pretty much given up in europe and simply vanishes without closing the store where the government has to deal with these shell companies sitting on chairs of companies the government has to own after being abandoned by its previous owner.
Movie makers and videogame companies given funds of one million who is all going into buying bitcoin.
Valve is ubiquitous. Valve is anything you want it to be.
A telephone company selling phony videogame consoles. AT&T
Gabe isn't even living in usa or operates the company. He sit retired in new zealand.
In most cases they're a daughter company while the actual HQ is in a dicator state like Thailand , india or china where them know authority can't touch them.
That's why india is attractive as potential development of a dictator super state to protect them from usa.
Likewise has china successfully become the enemy them sought to create to defend their companies is as well the majority of all customers that videogame companies don't make games for national consume any longer.
There were games made in the 80's and 90's created inside nations and never distributed outside the borders. Today you can't find them in store as everything is globalized.
This globalization means that selling videogames is 0+/- in usa , negative loss in EU , positive in middle east (government funded) , positive in private sector in china who homebrews everything, you can't find windows there since their programmers makes their own OS. A programmer in usa going to china is outdated in knowledge, programs them know may not even be used any longer.
So we keep on being given these re-sales of old games because that's all she wrote.
the uk's idea of repayment seems to be attempting any insane outlandish and unlikely to work scheme to make money, in a very transparent attempt to drag out their control over the platform for as long as possible.
