The cuts primarily affect Activision Blizzard employees.

The cuts work out to roughly 8 percent of the overall Microsoft Gaming division that stands at around 22,000 employees in total.

    this is nonsense

    all isms need governance always or they cant be stable. youre basically saying ‘if your system needs rules to survive, it shouldnt’ when systems are defined by their rules.

    if your core tenant is to fuck everyone over at all costs, i guess you might have a point.

      Where did I say anything about not having guardrails/ regulation/ governance? I said that if the guardrails run counter to the underlying system’s core tenets, that is indicative the tenets are bad, to wit:

      to fuck everyone over [to extract value] at all costs

      That is Capitalism in a nutshell. Nothing within Capitalism as a doctrine calls for limits to be placed upon value-generation in favor of protecting people.

      Contrast this to other systems, (even free market ones like Mutualism where regulation is not present) where an asymmetrical concentration of power is considered inimical or even contradictory to the system’s tenets. Asymmetrical wealth and influence structures will always emerge even in those systems, but those systems are intended, from the ground up, to counter that, as opposed to Capitalism which intrinsically encourages and rewards that imbalance.
