I’d wish him the worst, but I know he just got a golden parachute and will go to fuck up another company soon enough
This guy has fucked up three companies already, Bioware/Pandemic, EA, and now Unity. Corporations are a joke.
With his sort of self-destructive money-grubbing attitude and skillset he could go on to become CEO of EA, even.
If he could get in league with Bobby Kotick and they just collectively go screw up a different market somewhere else, that’d be nice.
