@kchironis My cynical view is that the people in charge of deciding to scale a company to 100+ basically always will if they have an opportunity to. It benefits them. The non-founders or execs it doesn’t benefit miss the days of being small because they all had a seat at the table.

@kchironis Then those people leave, start their own studios, say they’ll stay small. But now, they are the execs and founders. When the opportunity to scale comes and it benefits them, the cycle continues.
