Demand IS high, but it’s not exponential. Games are getting cancelled because they won’t generate billions of dollars. The profit floor required by PE is now too high; that doesn’t mean there’s no profit.
As to the rest of it:
This is fun!
My go-to is Mind Games J’Adoube. It’s a really tart pomegranate with a little citrus over a base note of leather. There’s apparently some patchouli in it, but thankfully I can’t smell it.
My other fave is Diptyque Eau Duelle, which is an unsweet vanilla spiced with pink peppercorn.
MOTHERFUCKER
Yes! I meant PE not VC but I was v sleepy. VC has been in games for a long time now and has its own issues but nothing as gangrenous as PE
Profitable isn’t enough, VC have to make enough of a profit when they sell or IPO to fund their next leveraged acquisition as well as their next vacation home. Short term balance sheets are what matters because they’re not sticking around.
This is what a house feels like while it’s getting flipped.
