Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

Ubisoft and EA are terminally rotten corporations. Not really fair to characterize game studios over what those are up to.
I'm not seeing how it's not fair to talk about what gaming studios do in terms of two of the largest.
Because these specific two are growing increasingly irrelevant to the medium and they’re outliers compared to other studios. They’ve both been infamous for years for their exceptionally scummy practice. They’re literally the worst.
Being the worst and the biggest studios aren't unrelated concepts, they're the biggest because they're the worst.
reminded of the guy who said i could get rid of my problems with SPF/DMARC/DKIM by just not accepting mail from Gmail
this was his advice for a business with ordinary customers btw
I assure you it’s much easier gaming all day without touching EA or Ubi than it is rejecting gmail on a storefront.
i really don't care, you fuckin weirdo
EA is 6th, Ubi is 22th
