I dislike investors as much as anyone but someone had to fund development. At least until we get UBI

Eh, to an extent. If they are original funders, I agree. But when you have people or groups buying rights to music/movies/tv/etc to claim royalties in perpetuity, especially after the original creatives die, those people can fall into a pit of uncapped rusty rebar.

or even a group that funded it

I noted I'm ok with investors.

I'm against parasitic groups that feed on properties and prevent money getting to the actual dev folks.

[-] CybranM@feddit.nu 1 points 3 weeks ago

Which group would that be then?

Places that buy other companies to dismantle or lay off large chunks of staff and take over IP with minimal or absent quality to show from it. Just maximize that investor dollar.

Microsoft, Disney etc.

The harm performed far outweighs any investment from a "toward the artists" I see come back.
