So you've gotten past the description, which means that you must be a developer for an astounding game that has (once) revolutionized gaming. However, there's one subject on your mind after so many years of running a game responsibly, bugging you ever since you were forced to create some VR games for the 6% of the population that can afford it: How can I make money for my company easily, quickly, and kill off any community that stands in my way? Lucky you, because I have the solution to make your work place feel less like work and more like a spa!

At this point you must be wildly excited, screaming at your desk, What is it [REDACTED FOR PRIVACY]? How can I finally accomplish something that doesn't draw attention to me in my life? Well, here's your answer:
Kill off your non-profitable game, then piggyback off the profit of other games.
Why would you want to do this, you may ask? Think about it: When COVID-19 kills off all the boomers there will be no one left but the rich, the ones that threw money at their problems and became invincible to all diseases, to rule the world. Don't you want your company to be that entity, especially when 89% of your audience is under 50? Of course you do!
How can I do this? you may be wondering. Well, it's simple, and today I'm going to show you how.

Firstly, let's look at the core of all this, the real nitty grit: Your game. Of course, your game is what has gotten you to this point, and for obvious reasons: you (once) put your hard blood, sweat, and tears into the beauty making sure that, by the time it was suitable to make it Free-to-Play and add gambling, it attracts so many newcomers that you've created a WHOLE MOTHER FRIGGIN' ECONOMY based off of it. But now, that SAME community decided to RAVAGE your profits by taking control of your economy and taking the revenue all for themselves instead of using your ugly, unaffordable, painful to access, and profitable market for non-existent digital cosmetics. How can you punish them for doing such a reasonable, and frankly disgusting, thing to your baby? That's right: make your game so frustrating to play that people would rather go waste their money on a much more profitable game, like Realistic Shooter with Microtransactions and a Toxic Community #593. How do you do this, you may ask? Well, simple:

• Push out updates that make the UI (User-Interface) much more complicated.
  
• Make it harder to run a community server.
  
• Insert a large amount of oxyconton into your servers.
  
• Split the community into a casual and competitive gamemode to make traffic lighter.
  
• Add weapons that are overpowered on release (I.E a pistol that can kill anyone on headshot), and then nerf them into oblivion instead of balancing it so people get tired and leave.
  
• Make your game purposely look worse than it did when the game came out, so people view the game as "outdated" and go play one of your more updated games (preferably one being transferred to a new engine) (Example shown below).
  

Once you've done that or one of the many other ways to kill your game inconspicuously to not draw negative feedback from the media, you've EASILY gained over 560% more in profits! At this point, there's no reason to provide maintenance to your game (since it is hard to profit on now), so you should shut down the game and move on to other new, innovative cash-grabs (I.E Yu-Gi-Yoh-Style Game That Literally No One Asked For)!

So you've done all the steps completed above, but the rich company that you work for realizes that your game may still give you profit (in the form of paying to play a gamemode) and forced you to keep your game servers open. Now what? Well, we here at Epic- I mean, I have the next best thing: World War II. [EDITOR'S NOTE: The writer does not condone any racism towards people of the German race. Any racist comments will be exterminated using (new "delete racism" bots) brutal force.]

You see, when The Allies won the war, it was a great time for the world. Free capitalism for all but a few countries! However, one particular nut-job's grandfather remained butt-hurt and decided to pass that rage down all the way until someone had the sheer skill and masculinity to injure their enemies on the inside. All you have to do is wait until someone does this, then don't do anything about it until they've killed off your game!

How will they do this? Simple: Put flawed code into your servers and/or game that can easily allow it to be hijacked in the future, and then protect the creator of the bots anyone that abuses it from being banned so that the game eventually dies. And if your community tries to rebel in the dead forums of your game? Merge them all into one single thread and hide it under threads about random topics so no one actually knows its a very major issue at the company, and your community feels unappreciated so they leave.

Congratulations, you've just made your game unplayable by letting the wrath of one person without a life make your company millions of dollars!

By now, your community is now dead and has moved on to one of your other many games (not without first buying $1000 worth of hardware). Great job, your plan was a success! You might be worried that you'll be shunned by anyone even remotely familiar with the game, but how could that happen if no one knows it was you? Just blame the company that made it!
