This is flat out wrong. Who told you this? This is not how boards operate in relation to CEOs/CFOs. I speak as someone who has been on boards AND as someone who has served as CEO. Boards are not involved in decision making and they’re level of involvement isn’t based on who has the most shares. A board’s function is to hire/fire the CEO/Director according to their overall goals for the company. The CEO’s role is to perform to the level agreed upon when hired. They do not run the operations of the company beyond that. What you’ve said here is, in fact, so incorrect it calls into question the veracity of all your other responses.

Mr Me clearly operates in AmicoLand, where money is stolen from pre order folks, CEO exaggerates profusely and bloviates often, marketing hasn’t started and if you question anything, then clearly said product is not for you and already been discussed. Wouldn’t that be something if ALL companies, boards and CEO’s operated this way?? 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did I say that board members involvement depends on the number of shares. I was just pointing out that all the founding partners and board members do have their own money in the company and if the company fails so goes their investment. As far as day to day operations, yes the CEO and CFO have authority, as I've said. The board decides who the top executives are and those executives answer to the board. The board establishes direction for the company that top executives carry out, the board should be involved in major decisions, as executives have to consider what the board would want. The board answers to the share holders. If a couple people have majority shares they can decide the makeup of the board. Ultimately majority shares controls the company, doesn't matter who has it. I pointed out that those two people don't have it. Where's the disagreement and why is this subject being discussed.

mr_me Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 (edited) Those two statements aren't the same thing. If two people have majority shares they can dictate the makeup of the board and control the company, those two people don't even have to be board members. That's not saying board member involvement depends on the number of shares. A board member doesn't have to have any shares at all.

zapzapzac Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 You are the only person here responsible for your level of articulation. If people routinely misunderstand you, that’s on you. I’m not sure why you’re explaining the basics of corporate boards to no one either. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people harp on the early demo graphics/presentation but great gameplay always trumps graphics imo. BTW, bench clearing brawls confirmed! This guy is working on 8 player Baseball as we speak.

Back then they were still working on hardware prototypes and developer units, expecting to take on more investors in 2020. That didn't happen as planned. The Republic/Fig campaign came short, they lost money in a dispute with their manufacturer, delays costing them overhead. And since they can't manufacture a hundred thousand units, they no longer need a multi-million dollar marketing budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
