My hot take for today is that the video game industry should be nationalized.
I am constantly seeing stories of video game companies laying people off and letting go of contractors.
Yet I'm also constantly seeing praise of this year as one of the best all-time for video games.
So if an industry fires people when they succeed, it should not exist. But I still want games, so it should be taken over by the government or something. This is just freaking ridiculous.
Government is still ran by people though. Heavily flawed people seeking power over the rest of us. It used to be about serving the people. Now it’s more about serving themselves at the expense of everyone else. People always find a way to exploit something good.
At most they should provide better guidelines to prevent abusive practices.
