Excellent article. When combined with the previous expose on Williams over on Vice, the evidence seems overwhelming that Ken was nothing more than a fairly heartless new money asshole who readily got caught up in the hard right, and sought nothing more than wealth and the spoils of it.
Back when the Two Guys from Andromeda (Mark Crowe and Scott Murphy, creators of Space Quest) were doing a live stream for SpaceVenture, Ken Williams joined the chat. Upon confirming that it really was him, Scott Murphy was visibly still embittered at Ken, and when Ken mentioned that Space Quest was his favorite series, Scott simply responded "I really doubt that." (If I recall correctly). In a comment elsewhere, he said that as their games became more successful and made more and more money, Ken would always try to pay them less.
Later, Scott got cancer and did a gofundme to help pay for his medical expenses. Ken, a multi millionaire traveling the world on his yacht thanks to the wealth the creatives at Sierra generated, and directly responsible for Murphy losing his job, donated $500.
A few years later, he had a new yacht built from scratch for himself.
