Embracer joins TimeWarnerHBODiscoveryParamountSoonblahblahblah in confirming capitalism is in its terminal stage.

No unexploited markets in which to further to grow/metastasize, and entire economic sectors eating their own tails to be gutted of their ability to actually make the products/services their sector existed to provide in the first place for a short term stock bump celebrating cruelty.

This is a fire sale, and the capitalists know it. The worst bit is, it's happening in every economic sector, even the life and death ones.

"But sir! We still all need to breathe the Earth's air!"

Then build me a climate change bunker in New Zealand with its own ventilation system! You can't come. Line must go up!
