    Let’s look at what are they apologizing for: “for the confusion and angst … [the policy we announced] caused”. Not for the policy itself. Right, “we’re sorry you got mad”.

    And what are they going to do about it? “making changes”

    As far as corporate non-apologies go, this is definitely one of them.

      Business speak apology PR might work on the average gamer.

      This is businesses he tried to screwed over.

      But it just goes to show that some CEOs have no idea what their product does.

        His product sells ads. There’s a game engine in there somewhere to get people through the door, but that’s not what he considers the product.

    You want to prove you’re sorry? Fire your CEO. He is going to lose you a LOT of money.

      The CEO is not the issue here.

      The man sold 50k stocks in the company just this year, 2k of which the day before the announcement, he knows this is suicide.

      The board needs to go, but the reality is that unless you go private there’s not much to do on that front.

      In fact, when they do fire him, don’t expect things to change. This is an Ellen Pao maneuver.
