During his tenure at EA, Unity CEO previously floated cash micro transactions to purchase in game ammo if a player ran out but could not find any.

Generally speaking it’s not hard to argue corporate leadership has lost the fucking plot altogether and are steering everything in to a stone cliff face.

Data driven fiat economics and viral media is being weaponized as a mathematical minority hallucinate they are some essential element of reality itself and not just a few meat bags LARPing hand me down spoken tradition.

It's like the classic startup ideas around "People need to organize their consumption of X, so if we just put in a button allowing them to buy X next to their lists they'll buy it from us!"

Missing the point that most people don't want that.
