You’d be misplacing that anger. He hasn’t been part of a AAA studio or publisher in decades, and as far as I can tell his last venture involved investing in and shutting down some edutainment dev in Malta.
I guess “money guy for a bunch of middleware companies” didn’t get nearly as many clicks as “exSONY BOSS PLAYSTATION MAN”.
Even if he isn’t part of the gaming industry, we can’t pretend he’s the only one thinking like this (hence my comment “people like this asshat”). This kind of assholery is the reason the AAA industry is like this.
It’s crazy how the 1980s mafia bust-out strategy for squeezing a business dry used to be the thing a district attorney would level RICO charges against.
Now its the preferred strategy of hedge funds run by the children of those district attorneys.

People like him, not him specifically.
