publicly traded companies are actually super predictable

slavery is legal in jails (in the US)

Feels like I see people not using their turn signals more often than using them, these days.

True, I just think the flailing AAA industry is a lost cause. I would be very surprised if his statements have any impact on the current stifling atmosphere for musicians at these studios

Maybe stop working on AAA games. Plenty of creative freedom (and amazing games) in the indie space
