If you think a company like Microsoft; that has been chasing a $5~ trillion dollar market cap cares about long term sustainability, customer respect and competitiveness... Then you haven't been paying attention to what Microsoft has been doing for the last 30 years... |
The problem with that type of opinion on capitalism is that corporations that operate in that manner usually don't last forever. Eventually, they lose all the customers they ripped off, or are broken up by government action. Or they cause society to collapse in such a way that their precious profits implode along with it.
It's funny to me that Nintendo and Sony are just as beholden to shareholders yet mysteriously haven't taken such drastic anti-consumer, anti-sustainable actions. Almost as if your claim that every corporation is legally required to be an unscrupulous bastard is hollow. For Example, Nintendo isn't shoving Microtransactions into every game possible. Shouldn't Nintendo's shareholders sue?
