Which is totally reminescent of what happened earlier this year with Activision, despite in their case pulling billions out of their pockets.

But hey, you can't expect illogical/greedy people to regulate themselves if it means less in their pocket or actually be seen as decent people. There's not enough place in this world for that xD

Expect this to become a recurrent occurence in the next years for some of those big corporations.

Which is why corporations need to be kept on a short leash, and why shareholder satisfaction shouldn't be the #1 overriding concern of a corporation. While I think a market system is preferable to central planning for most things, I have serious objections to modern capitalism, and it's this "perpetually growing profits at all costs" mentality that stands at the forefront of my objections. I don't object to running a business and making money off of it, but not to the point where consumers and/or workers are essentially thrown under the bus just so the shareholders stay happen and the CEO can get an eight-figure income for the year.

Great news guys! I just sold all our food for the winter at 300% above current market value! We're rich!
