Isn’t that a prerequisite for enshitification? Publicly-traded companies are required (by law, I think) to maximize profits for their shareholders, even if that means utterly ruining their original product (Reddit, Boeing, etc.), yes? What do you think?
That’s true, and also why I added that last part about it being confirmation bias on my part. Definitely not saying there aren’t good examples, but like you said, I’m also having a hard time coming up with any.
Has Valve ever bought any other company? lol They’re one of the few I could see actually making the child company better xD
I’m not sure. Portal and Team Fortress both have really interesting back stories that I think have a bit to do with Valve acquisitions
