Quote:It stuns me to no end that this guy's actual name is "Christian Nutt", especially given the content of the article.:) Yes, irony.
I was actually thinking that I'm more likely to avoid companies with "bad attitudes" than the individuals behind the scenes. In my world of computing... the huge vacuum of software sucking is Computer Associates. They appear to exist to acquire challenged assets that are popular, well supported. Then, they lay off a significant portion of the development and support staff milking the product owners for maintenance releases until they get frustrated enough to take action. Kind of like a publishers clearing house.
EA seems to be the same type of entity for the game world. I resist buying EA games. Shareware is often better written and supported.
