Kim: Aw shit I regret my contract. Maybe I can get out of it by lying. I need tons of lies. I need to lie and bullshit like a madman. I need to spout tons of absolute unhinged bullshit with a straight face.

When I'm in a "make game unattractive to buyers before it comes out" competition and my opponent is Krafton
You never go full ChatGPT.
I mean, if this is the way the average CEO is handling ChatGPT, a lot of things start to make sense.
Im convinced that the CEOs use it to write some emails or brainstorm ideas and suddenly they think it can do everything, so they fire everyone and then everything falls apart because it cant do what they think it can.

Holy hell, the fact that those slack messages and that chatbot history ended up in court is mind blowing. I guess we should be grateful that this time, the bad guy and his hamfisted "Project X" got put in the spotlight.
As a brave Ukrainian defender once said, "We are lucky they are so stupid".
What a fucking piece of shit.
I have to admit, every time a story like this comes out, it makes me distrust any other large company all the more. When this whole thing first started, I already expected the publisher to be lying. Looks like the pattern holds true!
I bet this will make it into the writing of Hifi Rush 2. (Tango Gameworks got bought by Krafton). The whole game is refreshingly unabashedly anti corporate and dunks on corporate culture in every way they can
THAT is what happened?! Wow, that is hilarious!
The legal battle is ongoing, but Kim looks set to lose.
I am SO curious what will happen here and what the final verdict will be. Trying to cheat someone out of 250 million has to result in some enormous fine at least right?

This is so dumb. I never believed the hype around CEOs, but I still thought they needed to have something, anything, to reach their position.
But the artificial dumbness time really reveals how many of them had simply dumb luck and no morals. And that was apparently enough for all of human history because their underlings protected them from acting too stupid. And now they think they don't need those underlings anymore. Well, at least I can laugh myself to death before the climate wars.
Shareholders care about only one thing, and its not the company or its employees. Of course maniacal idiots are at the top of the list for CEO, their too narcissistic and lack empathy to care.
Oh for sure! I just thought in their heads was a certain kind of business savvyness to reach their position. But it seems they just hear the echo of their own voice.

It's weird, where are all the people who were saying the launch delay was probably for valid reasons? Where are the people saying that it couldn't have all been lies because that would just come out in court? Where are those few vigorous defenders of Krafton now? There's a big plate of shit here and they must be hungry.
To be fair, not to defend the CEO at all but when this story first broke it was so wild that you knew someone had to be making up some serious bullshit but it was just so out there, it could have been either side.
Why anyone decided to pick sides is beyond me, this is why courts exist.

What's that smell in the air? Is it the smell of Schadenfreude?
this ceo really "worlds smartest baby in 1996"ed himself with this.
Probably didnt spend enough time charging his hat by the magic rock

Thanks! I appreciate the archive link, although I think it's OP's job to provide it.
For the record, you could install the removepaywalls.com browser extension on all your devices and never have this problem again.

I can never get past their cloudflare captchas. I guess I must be a bot.
Archive.today implements a custom CAPTCHA unrelated to Cloudflare stylized like a Cloudflare CAPTCHA that used to block Cloudfare DNS users and DDoS a specific blog site
I use them with noscript on Firefox with everything blocked except main domain, because it's a fake bot detection page that actually is doing DDoS on other websites
Tried myself, no browser except chrome worked. Rather infuriating.
I despise "tech bros" at the best of times
There are too many halfwits with solutions desperately searching for a problem
The fact that him sniffing his own farts was his undoing makes me incredibly happy
He's not even a tech bro. Just your run of the mill Wall Street CEO who only cares about keeping as much of the money his company makes as possible, even at the price of ruining said company.
What a greedy, dumb piece of shit 😂
I’m so happy it’s not UWE that is the asshole. I love their games.
At least he dogfooded his vision. Too bad reality happened.
