I have no opinion, except that "We make games that we like to play" is a vastly superior guiding star than "We make worlds that inspire friendship." I'm not even sure how you do the latter.

They lost a Microsoft manager type and gained a Creator/Engineer type to drive the ship. Just that right there is potentially a HUGE boon.

Based on what we know now... it's a darn shame it didn't happen sooner. So as it goes.

Isn't that the Apple mantra? It leaves plenty of room to sell the next "improved" version.

No, sadly Apple's mantra these days seems to be "just do whatever, who cares about UI and usability anymore?"

I don’t think a single company gives a fuck about UI or usability anymore. Every piece of software I interact with now sucks and feels like it’s designed by people that have never used it and don’t even understand what it’s for.

You can grow something with shit, but you sure can't with poison. Take the wins where they can be found.
