That’s the thing, in Finland they can’t, they’d freeze to death otherwise.

No growth is bad for the investors/stakeholders who make money from that growth, so the issue is probably more pronounced in public companies, but definitely not limited to them.

Agreed. The writing and acting of RDR2 are amazing, but as a whole, the story of the game kind of felt empty in the end. I think I might revisit the game later to see if I’ll enjoy it more, but I just don’t see Arthur as that great of a character from a narrative viewpoint. After the first couple times Dutch’s “plans” failed I started to really question why Arthur, or any of the other gang members really, would continue trusting him so blindly. I think that may have broken my immersion even more than the restrictive mission design where I also murdered like a thousand people.

I think they said last night that CIG has about 1500 employees in total.

I’m guessing Google Play handles things on a case-by-case basis for apps that are more popular

+1 for Metro Exodus. I’m a little surprised that it comes up in discussions like this so rarely. I’m a huge fan of post-apocalyptic settings so I might be biased, but it’s easily one of my favorite games ever.
