And take every penny they can while giving as little as possible. You'd be surprised how malicious the higher ups of big companies can be. While the little guy (programmer) is in love with the idea. The big boss sees dollar signs, "yes this is exactly how well fuck them". |
I don't think they have any compunction against fucking people over, for sure. I just don't think it's their intent. They don't care one way or another. "Whatevah! Whatevah! I do what I wawnt!"
But for all their previous lameness, they hadn't yet run into a situation where they couldn't dangle some shiny new FPS in front of their fans and get them to roll over and take it. This time "Did you see Titanfall?" had no effect. They were in some deep shit, and now that they've capitulated I'm a little sad to see how many people are so eager to just forget all about this and get back to playin' da Xbawx. Bums me out more than the people who were defending them every inch of the way, because there is literally no hope for those cheerleaders.
