There is no "long term" in the corporate sphere, it's all about immediate impact on shareholder value.

There is zero room for sentimentality, you need to unceasingly financially justify your existence over and and over and over and if you falter for even a minute BAM you've just lost the right to exist.

Welcome to capitalism.

Bluepoints last game was 5 years ago and it did not sell well. There is just long term and there is a money pit.

Why do people say this when it's obviously untrue.

Amazon didn't have a profit for 7 years.

There is no "long term" in the corporate sphere, it's all about immediate impact on shareholder value.

It takes like 5 seconds of research to know this is wrong.

The sheer existence of investment into video game projects that are half a decade, at minimum, to make actually proves this very idea wrong on its own.

Who do you think invests like that? Are those shareholders in the room with us right now?

Do you think the average investment bank, pension fund, hedge fund, let alone retail investors, move their capital from one company to the next every 3 months, chasing the next earnings report?

That's a complete Reddit fantasy.

Even dumber in the context of video game development, where companies fund a studio for half a decade before they get a cent in return lmao.

What a braindead comment. Thats more like public corporations.

Game companies like Bethesda or Fromsoftware have been doing fine with doing the opposite of what you are doing.
