The top panel, labeled 'New game releases' in yellow text, shows Squidward (representing PC gamers) looking at SpongeBob and Patrick (representing console gamers) who are joyfully jumping. Below this, white text reads 'Pc gamers seeing console gamers playing a new game.' The bottom panel, labeled 'After 1 year' in yellow text, reverses the scenario: Squidward is now jumping happily, while SpongeBob and Patrick watch from behind.

This is a 3-panel comic meme using the popular boardroom meeting suggestion format to satirize how video game companies handle piracy and competition from platforms like Steam. In the first panel, a panicked executive asks the team how to deal with Steam and game pirates. In the second panel, three team members give suggestions: the first two suggest aggressive, punitive measures (lawsuits and strict anti-piracy measures), while the third suggests the obvious solution: improving the company's own services to be good enough that people don't want to pirate or use other platforms. In the final panel, the executive reacts angrily to the sensible suggestion, and the person who gave the good suggestion is thrown out of a high-rise office window, illustrating that game companies refuse to accept the obvious correct solution and instead cling to ineffective, customer-hostile anti-piracy tactics.
