Corporate Game

A type of video game created by a large corporation (often referred to as a AAAA game or quad 'A' game). These games are designed to appeal to the broadest possible audience, prioritizing commercial success over artistic innovation or creative risks. While they often feature high production values, cutting-edge graphics, and extensive marketing campaigns, they are frequently criticized for being bland, boring, and soulless.

Corporate games tend to follow formulaic designs, relying on "tried-and-true" mechanics and generic storylines to maximize profitability and minimize the risk of alienating any segment of their target market, which is everyone. This results in games that, despite their technical polish, lack originality, creativity, and depth. They often feature excessive microtransactions, season passes, and other monetization strategies that can detract from the overall gaming experience, these corporations may also incorporate "woke" language and themes, but they're often seen as a superficial and unsuccessful attempt at inclusivity that fails to add meaningful substance to the game.

I was really excited about the new sci-fi RPG, but it ended up being just another corporate game—great graphics, but it felt so generic and uninspired. It’s clear they were more focused on appealing to everyone than making something truly unique

Corporate Rick

The guy that was once a participating member of the team but has now risen to corporate status and is now much too busy for the team. Of course, he still expects the free meeting lunches but obviously doesn't attend the meeting

There goes corporate Rick lunch in hand and not headed to the meeting with everyone else!

Corporate dozen

A six-pack marketed as a case. Corporate advertising that cynically misleads buyers into thinking they are getting more than they receive.

Contrary to the baker's dozen of 13 to encourage long-term loyalty, the corporate dozen provides less than that advertised for short-term gain. or: The baker's dozen is what we were, and the corporate dozen is what we have become.

Corporatism

Not to be confused with corporatocracy, which is rule by multinational corporations (what we live in). Corporatism comes from the Greek 'corpus', meaning body. It is the mode of economics used by Fascist Italy, and is shared by many Third Positionists and Fascists alike. Its end goal is a harmonious relationship between employer and employee where both work for the good of the nation rather than for themselves, with the State forming as an intermediary to ensure cooperation.

Phil: "I support corporatism."
Dave: "So you support Disney running the government? Weird."
Phil: "No, I mean I support class collaboration and the organization of society into guilds which cooperate with their employers, using the state as an intermediary."
