      Didn’t you know? That was J.R.'s fault and nobody else on the board was involved in the decision. And since he’s been forced to step down retiring due to the backlash, the person responsible is gone! Nobody else is to blame! /s

      I’ve worked in games on-and-off-and-on for the last 20 years and have over 12 years of actual industry experince. The industry needs to change, and there’s a few studios and publishers standing up and trying to do things in a better way. But dammit, I don’t think it’s going to get much better as an entire industry until there’s significant reform to the US’s business practices as a whole.

      Also, fuck publicly traded companies. They ways go to hell within 5-10 years.

      As someone who’s seen this happen a thousand times. No, the suits will not admit any self blame and put themselves as pioneers of any triumph
