I wonder if Take-Two Interactive considered the morality of acquiring a company that paid slave wages. Maybe they should change their name to Take-Two Thousand Annually.
- MrZongle2 9y agoTake-Two appears to have purchased the KSP property, not Squad, the original owning company.
- Svekax 9y agoWhat is your point?
- mcphage 9y agoWell, you asked: > I wonder if Take-Two Interactive considered the morality of acquiring a company that paid slave wages. But they didn't acquire the company.
- ionised 9y agoYou said acquiring the company, which they didn't.
- pavel_lishin 9y agoAre you suggesting that KSP is eternally tainted by Squad's actions? Should we burn the code, and start from scratch?
- golergka 9y agoA wage that is agreed upon by both parties without coercion is not, by definition, a 'slave wage'. Yes, there are poor people who live in hellholes and are used to much lower salaries than you and me. It may make us feel uncomfortable or guilty, because we don't 'feel' as if we 'truly' deserve so much more money than them. But thankfully, following irrational feeling of injustice is not the only foundation of ethics that we have.
