Well, in this specific instance, from what I read, one of the strong point against devs was mentioning improvements for games not yet released. Whatever the case, the repercussions it is going to have (or well, having) on other opensource projects is really sad.

As a long time Linux user, I remember how infamous MS was. Though, social media wasn't that strong back then.
