Big Tech Challenges (good), and Big Money Chasing Leaders (bad)
Game industry work with the rare opportunities to work with server technology at a large scale.

Leadership needs to get back in touch with those values; otherwise, the company culture will be replaced with profit chasers, to our products' detriment.
