ProfD Posted January 26, 2022 Report Share Posted January 26, 2022 @Delano, thanks for posting that link. Great to read that an AfroAmerican is creating in that space. I'm always going to be a proponent of ownership. Black folks have to think more like entrepreneurs and less like worker bees trading labor and intellectual property for a wage. Typically, an AfroAmerican who comes up with a video game or anything for that matter will be working for a white or foreign-owned company. That game becomes the intellectual property of the company. The AfroAmerican will make his hourly wage, no commission or profit-sharing. The company will make a windfall of money. OTOH, if a white man comes up with a video game, he'll quit his job and start his own video game company. He might even take some of his former coworkers along for the ride, er, riches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
