Message: <blockquote data-quote="doctorbadwolf" data-source="post: 8424234" data-attributes="member: 6704184">All actors in a society have a moral obligation to not actively harm the society. No one has a moral obligation to get rich or make others rich. Investment is gambling.  If a company is maximizing profit beyond what is needed to make a profit, by means that are sketchy or unethical, then they are behaving unethically. Being a corporation doest release them from basic ethical obligation to the community. Hey maybe you could not make very very politically charged, very controversial, declarative statements that aren’t even related to the thread topic, that replying to properly would require breaking forum rules?  Like, there are other places where you can complain about how the youth don’t love an exploitive economic system that is largely failing them hard enough. Generally that isn’t the thing people are unhappy about. The mindset that companies have no obligation to behave ethically with regard to the community is very bad for a society. It’s upsetting when one feels that a company is juicing the community for more than a product is actually worth or more than they need to change to make a profit. Making a profit is good, greedily raking in more and more in order to give executives bigger bonuses is not.   Which, tbh I don’t even think is what is happening with Wizards. I don’t really get why folks are acting like Wizards is behaving badly, right now.</blockquote>
