I know people will pick sides (and have already done so)... (Gaming)
But personally, from what we know, I see relatable challenges on both sides of this issue. The whole thing just makes me sad.
I think, like Marty, I too would be outraged if a publisher took away my contribution on a vital event like that. But I can also see how challenging it might be for a whole studio to work with that outrage (especially in such an important role) if they were already into the thick of it and trying to make a good game despite challenges with the publisher.
So the relatable solution was to strip Marty of his shares for no reason other than "he'd be an ass at board meetings?"
No. And I doubt that is what Levi was arguing.
