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!

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.

The "no morals" part is their main qualifier

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 3 points 12 hours ago

A close second is connections to others with money and no morals.

simply being an asshole and not caring about how your actions affect other people can get you surprisingly far in life

just imagine all the time that you save if you never return your shopping cart, or park anywhere you want, or butt to the front of lines

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 6 points 13 hours ago

Be tall, handsome, good hair, a deep voice, and exude confidence, and you're halfway there. Looking like a CEO is half the battle.

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.

[–] Kushan@lemmy.world 17 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

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.

[–] zurohki@aussie.zone 8 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Bro, this is the internet. You don't need to know anything, just pick a position and angrily defend it.

What's that smell in the air? Is it the smell of Schadenfreude?

[–] bad1080@piefed.social 4 points 11 hours ago

i bet the first thing he looked into is how to push the responsibility for his failure onto chatgpt

[–] masta_chief@sh.itjust.works 18 points 16 hours ago

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

I can never get past their cloudflare captchas. I guess I must be a bot.

[–] Aatube@thriv.social 4 points 13 hours ago

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

[–] Wispy2891@lemmy.world 4 points 16 hours ago

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

I mean, that's gotta be grounds for termination if anything

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago

100% deserves it for being both stupid and inexcusably cheap.

[–] FistingEnthusiast@lemmy.world 21 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] fonix232@fedia.io 17 points 16 hours ago

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.

[–] meme_historian@lemmy.dbzer0.com 27 points 19 hours ago

What a greedy, dumb piece of shit 😂

[–] LapGoat@pawb.social 18 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

this ceo really "worlds smartest baby in 1996"ed himself with this.

[–] Sidyctism2@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 14 hours ago

Probably didnt spend enough time charging his hat by the magic rock

[–] org@lemmy.org 6 points 17 hours ago

I’m so happy it’s not UWE that is the asshole. I love their games.
