He learned his lesson with Bethesda and UBI blacklisting Kotaku, so he treads lightly going forward. He knows if he did an anti-Activision article, the execs would boot his ass so far out the door, it would land dead centre into that huge pile of unsold books hes been pitching on Twitter for years.So Jason Scheier is upset at the capitalism of his own parent company for greed and silencing political speech in their articles but not at Blizzard for the same fucking thing with a non apology, keeping people fired, and then distraction.
He. Is. A. Fraud. Wow... a lot of so called progressives are really showing their asses right now.
As for all the Kotaku people hiding behind a vague Twitter post badmouthing the CEO in name, they are all begging to be fired. It's a blessing in disguise because given the situation the parent company can probably fire them for cause and if they hold firm, not even have to pay out severance. When you fuck up ad deals and publicly criticize the CEO making this into laughable video game forum banter, it's enough to gas them with out a payout IMO.
The only time you really get employees angry enough to call out the CEO is when there's big union negotiations going on or something weird like a CEO is doing sexual misconduct or it's a culture of harrassment.
I've never seen such a petty situation where employees (mostly video game freelancers to boot. lol) are so mad at something like ad revenue stuff on a website, they call out the CEO.
Supposedly the two key reasons for the bickering are:
1. Execs hated the trend of too much politics instead of quirky sports articles
2. Employees hated that the execs had to infiltrate articles with gobs of extra ads placements
And this lead to employee posting about it, and management deleting a post or something, which angered the employees more.
Understandable that employees don't like their post getting bombarded with ad clicks shit, and understandable execs don't like their sports focus site trending to politics.
BUT, execs are in charge. And you got to follow rules and man up for sake of revenue. That's what pays the bills, and allows all these work-from-home freelancers to get paid their $100 for every clickbait article they churn out every day. Be lucky this kind of job is even around and can earn money.
