    There’s also the fact that the amount they make (plus business culture in general) is going to be creating and reinforcing a God complex in them. I often wonder if a lower salary for CEOs would actually result in them being better decision makers. What if their kids went to the same school as their customers’ kids?

    People of all political ideologies say they want their political leaders to be “in touch” with everyday people; why would we want business leaders to make so much money that they wouldn’t even have to look at an everyday person if they didn’t want to?

      And that’s why I feel small businesses are way better than large ones. Yeah, they don’t benefit from economies of scale, but they do benefit from actually caring.

      I’ll bet just video game CEOs have never actually played the games they make, while most indie CEOs at least play test, if not actually work on the game directly.
