I built this website. From scratch. Including the servers.
Yes.
I linked two Pakman interviews at the start of this one, anyone who has time should give them a listen. He's doing a great job overall as an interviewer and you get a much bigger picture on any given topic just by listening to his show.
I am concerned that the longer this drags on, the more tarnished (by bad PR) the entire gaming industry will look to outsiders. Tech has been battling the brogrammer reputation for quite some time, now it's gamings turn. What to do? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Guys, not to derail here but the comment about automation in Europe gave me a flashback to the Dutch automat restaurant FEBO, where you put coins in the slot to get your bitterballen and kroket. Whenever I had friends visiting I would always round off the party night by bringing them to FEBO.
It's not made by robots, but since there's nobody to take your order, any screwups are simply your own fault. FEBO has expanded to Spain and Turkey too.
It's really interesting that Spotify launched, and was used by practically everyone in Sweden for what seems like years before suddenly musicians pulled out. The first "vanishing" of music from playlists happened when Spotify went pay in Sweden alone. Why?
Well, rumour has it that while they were working out of offices on Jakobsbergsgatan, they simply downloaded all of their music via The Pirate Bay, so that they'd have some music to build the app around. While this makes sense, the rumour also says that they kept the un-authorized music on for far longer than just the demo-era. Like, until May 2011.
mind you, it's just a really persistent rumour.
