    But then again, maybe he is just another CEO asshole and has always been lol.

    When you fire everyone that disagrees with you, it doesn’t take long to loose the ability to handle criticism.

    Like, there’s a very good chance this guy has had absolutely nothing but praise while “working” on this game. So now that people whose job doesn’t depend on making him feel like a genius are giving feedback, it literally breaks his brain.

    He most likely genuinely believes the game is perfect and all the criticism is from “trolls and haters” who are just lying because their jealous of his genius.

    There’s a reason this attitude is so pervasive among the wealthy.

      Now that I think about it, that has been one of my two blanket explanations for rich people being assholes.

      The other one being the mix-up of correlation and causation (or even just the direction of causation). Money arguably does make you a worse person, but also being a bad person usually can make you a lot of money in the first place.

        That feeds back into what I was saying, it’s the same thing.

        The first couple times you dick someone over for money, you’re gonna feel bad.

        But everyone at the company is going to pat you on the back and say you’re a genius cuz numbers went up.

        Anyone who says it wasn’t worth the numbers going up, gets fired.

        The wealthy live in a bubble where the only people they interact with only care about money

        Our whole capitalist society is a giant feedback loop that concentrates wealth and strips the wealthy of their humanity.

        It’s not like there’s some problem where something is broken, this is the natural and logical result of how we’ve spent the last couple generations

        Unregulated capitalism always ends in an oligarchy with most people penniless
