This is an article about Michael Pachter. Interesting stuff.
"And I invite anybody who wants to influence what I say to reach out and call me," he continued. "If they don't like what I say, but they don't call me, then they should just be quiet and suck it up. I've had companies call me and yell at me after the fact. Well, if you don't like it, then call me and tell me why I'm wrong before I say it! I'm never going to apologize. If they say I don't have all the facts, then I ask them to give me the facts next time. Then they won't have that problem."
"I've had a couple of guys actually send me e-mails saying I should kill myself because I've said things like, 'Call of Duty should charge a subscription,'" he said, laughing. "But I don't write for the fanboys who say that I'm an idiot and I don't understand Nintendo. I write for investors because my client base cares if Nintendo is launching a new console ... I try to be as honest, thoughtful and logical as I can. I don't say stuff to get a reaction. I say it because I think it's going to happen or it's right."
Anyone can guess. It takes no effort to throw out lots of predictions and have some of them be correct. You are not and wiser or better for having your guesses be right. Even a blind man can hit the bullseye.
