Admin drama every week) Either way, this has nothing to do with Dreamleague. The Dreamleague 'fiasco' is just some poor planning and bad admining, nothing that wouldn't be forgotten in a month unless they keep fucking up. This sounds like it was a long time coming. And it's hardly surprising that DH might have internal issues with a CEO like Robert. As much as I like him as a personality, we really can't tell (by we I'm obviously excluding some on this forum who might have insider knowledge) if this decision is good or bad for the company. And him saying the decision is based on greed, well one could argue that every business decision is based on greed, it doesn't really have much credence as a moral argument for if the decision is right or wrong without knowing the specifics. Given his rhetoric it's pretty safe to assume he didn't expect this at all. If people have a problem with him and that haven't been somehow communicated to him instead of arranging some kind of "take-over," that would indicate some dubious morals by the people responsible. Maybe it's a business decision, maybe it's some kind of personal grudge, but in any case it seems to have been handled quite poorly. Naturally it could just be Robert being overly dramatic and emo on twitter and doesn't necessarily indicate the nature of the situation. We'll just have to wait and see. | ||

The "gamergate thing" in connection to this is that Robert called out people using that hashtag on twitter as "retards" and got some backlash for it. I doubt him being fired is directly connected that other than maybe additional ammunition by whatever spurred him being fired. | ||

I always liked Robert, tragic to see him go in what appears to be a coup | ||

You might want to spell "people" correct when calling others idiots... I have also found it to be, in general, a pretty good move to refrain from calling others idiots just because you happen to disagree (and as Robert learned, calling them retards isn't the wisest thing either). | ||

That's not the point though. He's calling them idiots because the "debate" is a waste of time, not because he agrees with one side or the other. | ||

So obviously he disagrees with the people having the debate that it is a debate worth having... And that is still no cause for name-calling. EDIT: And to stay on-topic: I think we will never know exactly what went down behind the doors. Hopefully the "greedy" people making a power-play as he stated doesn't mean cost-increases. | ||
