    That is literally the entire point of shares. You buy a percentage of the company and give them money so they can use that money to expand and develop.

    Why would I give a company money if I don’t get a percentage of that company? It’s not a fuckin donation.

      You give that money to the Corp to get profits in return. Not a say in how the company is run, at least youre not supposed to for healthy business operations. One of, if not the biggest reason that for example steam continues to win is just they are being not overtly greedy and shortsighted. That is obviously a much healthier business model.
