    Greed applies to all of these companies let’s be honest.

      Greed could encompass most of the 7 sins.

      Lust - Greed for sex

      Sloth - Greed for relaxation

      Gluttony - Greed for food

      Envy - Greed of others stuff

      The only two that don’t really fit under greed is pride and wrath

        Pride - Greed for attention

        Wrath - Greed for violence

          I was gonna put pride in there as greed for power but pride comes in many forms.

          As for wrath I don’t see it as a greedy thing it’s something that is provoked. Evoked I should say.

        Greed, the character from FMAB, has an interesting take on this concept. He extends the concept to call the idea of the heroes winning completely (i.e. they get their bodies back, defeat the bad guys, no one dies) to be a form of greed, and the idea of greed is independent of morality.

        You could call this unhelpful broadening of the concept of greed, but I think it’s an interesting reframing of something people usually think of very negatively.

        Oh yeah now I remember…

        I love how they responded to that by changing McCree’s name (I’ll call Robotnik Eggman before I pretend Cole Cassidy isn’t the most generic shit I’ve ever heard) and then censoring the hell out of World of Warcraft

        Two things that didn’t really need to happen… and I love how basically no one, not a soul, honors the new name of Jesse McCree

          Nonsense. The porn has way better quality models than the game.

          Or so I heard. I don’t play Overwatch.

        AI upscaling made it sharper, but overall worse. Entertainment under Blizzard is completely unreadable in the upscale.

      A “boys club” scandal a couple years ago where the male higher-ups only hired women who would tolerate being sexually abused. Some ex-employees described it as “company culture” that propagated for a decade or more. There was an investigation after some women spoke out that led to a lawsuit, several top level managers being fired, and a couple CEOs being scrutinized really hard.

      All of this is off the top of my head and maybe somewhat inaccurate, but that’s the gist of it.

      Edit: Here’s an article for you

      Multiple sexual harassment claims and lawsuits, including incidents of stolen breast milk.

      • Alleged cubicle crawls where drunk employees go cubicle to cubicle harassing females.
      • Multiple C suites resigning due to personal indiscretions.
      • A “Cosby” suite
      • Suicide due to extreme harassment
      • Multiple allegations of breast milk missing from office fridges.

      You can’t make this shit up.

      My thoughts: they pridefully use the same formula in each of their open-world games, thinking consumers won’t recognize that Far Cry’s gameplay is basically AC with guns and a different story.

    Lots of words that really just mean Greed (Glutton, Lust, Envy).

      That’s because the sins are about exerting your will over others’/the community’s benefit and we use greed to mean wanting. Pride is greed for accolades, sloth is greed for rest, wrath is greed for emotional release.
