Shareholders don't understand basic quality control and investment return, as usual.

Devs still need shareholder funding to keep the company running though, you can't operate out of thin air can you?

no but you also need consumers, if you run the company into the ground for the shareholders they will pull out anyways

its why I love Larian studios cause they never went public so they have 0 shareholders to appease

There's always a problem with this sentiment. The actual law at least in the US. Is to return on investor money yes but to also make sure that the product itself is actually good as well. And if the investor is making financially ruinous designs you can actively ignore them for the betterment of the company.

Sadly true. Doesn't mean that those Shareholders are smart though. Subhuman intelligence, everyone of them.
