Feels like a big problem of society is all the angry guys who ain't clever enough to understand the real target their anger should be directed at.

Anyone defending Google today is likely a time traveller from the 90s.
Just humour them until they tell you where the Delorean is, then knock them out and use the car to go have adventures in the 1800s or something

I like Cory Doctorow's take on this. Change your individual consumption if it makes you feel better, but be aware this likely won't do nothing for the big picture.
You want to make big companies less evil, you are going to need policy

Ye, hopefully after we've kicked the current crop of tech CEO's asses, we can go back to a dynamic where tech is exciting and useful rather than "we've put AI in your butt so you can ask it questions"

I think we tend to forget that many of the pieces we look today as High Art, whatever the medium, were a variation of "as an artist, I gotta eat, and this dude will pay for a portrait of his wife"

Look up Réunion island's Madame Desbassayns at some point, 19th century girl boss plantation owner
Oral tradition on how she treated her slaves is the shit of nightmares. Local legends say she was put in the volcano to be whipped by the devil, and this is why the damn thing erupts all the time

One of those job simulator things, set in Newcastle at the height of its shipbuilding / weapon manufacturing power in the 19th, early 20th century would be pretty interesting, and there’d be room to tell very cool stories

I absolutely agree with you that executives should be paid less, but I don't think it would be enough to make a meaningful difference for workers in some big gaming companies in terms of salaries
That said, never seen a full big publisher payroll sheet, so I may be way off mark there

I genuinely am not sure.
Ubi's CEO makes, what, 2 or 3 millions per year? That'd be an extra 100 to 200 / year for each of the 20k employees.
An (improbable) scenario where games cost 100 and the extra money actually somehow actually goes to the creatives who make them, that's a big difference
