I'd be very surprised if this worked out for a variety of reasons. | ||

So his father better have some damn good reasons for withholding 50% of the shares, other than his opinion about his son. Maybe not legally, but morally he's basically stealing millions of dollars. | ||

Well but you also have to see the other side. Where did he get the money to buy 50% of DH in the first place? If his dad gave him the money for it, it's not as much as stealing as is getting it back. Not saying this is what happened and that I agree with the movement either way, just a thought. My father got the money to buy his/my house from his father, and he just gave him the money no strings attached, but it's in his right to ask for the money back. | ||

This kind of financial strain on a family can create conflict between a man and his wife. But if conflict doesn't destroy their relationship, it will make it stronger. | ||

In any other (rest) business, this move is at best comical and at worst suicidal. As much he insists that DH and his father fucked him over, it only happened because he fucked himself over first. And this is just only knowing his side of the story. Have to wonder his father's and DH's side of the story is. | ||

He calls it for "tactical, legal" reasons, but for all legal reasons, he lost DH right then and there regardless of his father's motivations in the future, with no leverage to hold nor collateral from his father, all because he had some "tacit understanding".

If fucking youself equals trusting the guy that brought you into the world, then you're right. But only then. | ||

I would so like to hear the truth in this matter, but i'm guessing that will never happen. That's actually a sign that he might be losing it though. Honestly who do you trust. The guy who just lost everything and says he was screwed by everyone? Or the organization which doesn't want to lose face over something that's just business. If you worked for Dreamhack, do you trust a CEO who gives up all his power to protect anyone including yourself? No. Basically...one perspective is that Robert fucked himself. What is "tactical legal reasons"? What happened to lawyers? Why not transfer it to his wife? Nothing really makes sense yet but everyone wants to take sides. | ||

I'm not condemning Mr. Ohlen by any means, but there is so much intentional withholding of vital details, and his telling is so one-sided and lacking in nuance, it's very difficult to attach a large amount of credibility to what he is saying. For most logical, rational people, accounts that are essentially extremely lopsided demonizations of another party should always ring some alarm bells. | ||
