bAsIc eCoNoMiCs is even less meaningful than just scoffing about naivete. Which you misspelled.

I'm making a normative statement about how this studio - which successfully made a beloved and profitable game, as a product that over a million people paid for - was still treated like it failed, lost money, and ruined everything. And that statement is, if success isn't good enough, that's fucking bullshit.

And the thorn that puts in your side is... that it's not capitalist enough? My guy, do you think the children's introductory textbook version of supply and demand has a footnote about destroying successful companies for shits and giggles? Or maybe you only spit that libertarian shibboleth at anything besides line-go-up. In just two words, you've assured that I don't know and I don't care.

If a misspelled word is your opening argument the rest of your pointless essay isn't worth reading. Go back to school.

It wasn't, but cling to whatever shields your ego.

And consider your own advice - "basic" doesn't mean "fundamental." It means "for children." Try advanced economics.
