      Good catch. Corporate speak revolves around saying shitty things but spinning them in a positive way.

    never sell your studio or game to a publisher. I hope every one understands that this time around.

      That’s easy for us to sit back and say on some internet forum. When a large company exec is sitting in front of you, waving a massive pile of money at you, it’s a hell of a lot harder. Especially if your company is struggling or you just really want to focus on making games and leave the business side of things to someone else.

    “Cut ties with,” as if the studios were made independent. You shitcanned them. You fired four and a half thousand people, because of unrelated gambling problems.
