I could get more details on what he really meant, why he had this attitude.  Maybe he just doesn't like the way corporations work. Maybe he finally had a chance to get his dream job and feels that the message was a political statement that will resonate with some supporters.  Maybe he felt that some decisions had been made to please the stockholders in a way that he disagreed with.  We just don't know.So we these issues get bounced around in the internet echo chamber and instead of sticking to facts, or I don't know, discussing the game we get OGL!!! PINKERTONS!!! and now Stockholders!!!  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f634.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":sleep:" title="Sleep    :sleep:"  data-smilie="20"data-shortname=":sleep:" /></blockquote>
