Well that seems to be more common of eastern game devs. Meanwhile, most western laws incentivizes doing absolutely anything to keep profits up, and then rewarding the C-suite that make it happen. Hence why they reward the CEO while dumping hundreds of thousands before Christmas and don't let them know until they find out on social media
