He's not a scumbag but he is part of that "left coast" subset of people that find it agregious people work for lower wages than people do in SF. The kind where the "the hand that feeds" is all low income people who willingly move to high cost of living cities and demand californianism to dominate policy.
I wish games and tech press didn't have to even acknowledge this stuff. It's just ridiculous I already know all political affiliations of people in tech journalism just by reading one page of their twitter. I just want the days of independent and intelligent journalism again.
