One source blamed mismanagement for the current situation, claiming that management was “always acting like there was an enemy, be it the old Disco team, the press, or even people working there” and consequently failed to value its existing talent, allegedly preferring to hire fresh blood from outside rather than promoting employees from within the company.

Who saw that coming???

Remember the hackjob "investigative piece" People Make Games made about the ZA/UM dispute, where they heavily relied on the money mens narrative about Kurvitz being bad a business? Do you think those fucking dogs ever sit down and re-evaluate their bullshit?

That implies that their business isn't selling bullshit.
