  The talent is all there.

  Apparently that’s the biggest problem with the new halo mmo or whatever they’re cooking up. All the talent that actually made these games possible was laid off and isn’t part of the company.

  A gaming union just might be able to get the band back together.

  Syndicate*

  Unions still 🥾👅 capitalists. In this case, TTWO. You want talent to own their means, and earn their yields. So syndicate.

    Thank you :) I've only been aware of the term "crime syndicate" but never looks up the single term syndicate. You learn something new everyday!

      aware of the term “crime syndicate”

      This was intentional, because your state doesn’t want you syndicalizing. If they associate cooperation with “crime,” you won’t ever unionize yourselves. If everyone syndicates, the state wouldn’t have the power monopolize who gets to business and who has the privilege to operate. Some intentions of laws are good, but monopoly on who gets to decide who and how things operate is how we get this cronyism.
