The ones that were weren't fired and replaced with Mexican "interns" working full time for $200 per month.

I wonder if Take-Two Interactive considered the morality of acquiring a company that paid slave wages. Maybe they should change their name to Take-Two Thousand Annually.

Take-Two appears to have purchased the KSP property, not Squad, the original owning company.

[Svekax]

What is your point?

Well, you asked:

> I wonder if Take-Two Interactive considered the morality of acquiring a company that paid slave wages.

But they didn't acquire the company.

[pavel_lishin]

Are you suggesting that KSP is eternally tainted by Squad's actions? Should we burn the code, and start from scratch?

[ionised]

You said acquiring the company, which they didn't.

A wage that is agreed upon by both parties without coercion is not, by definition, a 'slave wage'. Yes, there are poor people who live in hellholes and are used to much lower salaries than you and me. It may make us feel uncomfortable or guilty, because we don't 'feel' as if we 'truly' deserve so much more money than them. But thankfully, following irrational feeling of injustice is not the only foundation of ethics that we have.
