Andy_Panthro: Wasn't that speech to a very specific audience? I don't quite see the correlation between that and the inability for them to join up with GOG.
Seems more that he was painting the image of himself as a harsh boss, one that would be very efficient and increase profit margins by any means necessary (as he is expected to do...).
I'm thinking that even at the annual bicyclers' meeting, the CEO of a car manufacturer shouldn't express that he's actively trying to stop the trend of creating safer and more energy efficient cars, but instead will focus on creating the same gas-guzzler his company has been creating for the last decade, only with more brittle plastic and less sturdy metal, and raise the price no less.
No, it doesn't have anything about him being less likely to join GOG, he probably sees an opportunity to get some money out of old games that he cannot sell anywhere else.
