[QUOTE="Silverblade The Ench, post: 4746892, member: 19083"] Krensky well I'd argue that the mayhem in recent years argues against you :) THe problem is, that as the execs entrench themselves, they demanded stock options...and that they deserved more of the company profits (as wages) because they say they made the company more money (wich is what they are PAID for, they don't work making things, you know). This lead to a spiral of insane wage increases, and suicidal business decisions for short term mega profit, as they reaped rewards of increased share prices...and many other such things. It is absolutely Kafka-esque and mad! well [I]laddy-da[/I]!, it's [I]everyone [/I]in the company who adds (or subtracts) to the profits at the end of the day, actually. All deserve penalty or reward for success or failure, not just the ones at the top! So, we need rid of corporations, I don't know how, but we need shot of them, PDQ. Corporations have ruined many games, never mind anything else. See Electronic Arts, they drove Westwood and Bullfrog Studios into the destruction, two of the greatest, most innovative PC game studios, ever. Why? 'Cause corporate "suits" have no souls, only profit margins. In a nutshell: you can have D&D, or WOTC, not both. Corporate management is inherently parastic and destructive as they live in [I]lala land![/I] :D Now, if only we could get a hold of the Tardis, zip back 30 odd years, slip Gary Gyax a couple of million and some tips....
