I think it would be wrong to believe that there isn’t spin happening on the other side, too, and I don’t think that truth wins out in the end. This isn’t enlightened consumers vs evil, lying developers.
Sure, the internet will remember everything you ever said, but the question then isn’t whether what you said measures up to the truth, but whether what you said can be spun in a negative way for you.
Also, none of this is inevitable or even very predictable.

- arrrg 7y agoThe most toxic, extreme and disgusting hate always seems to target developers. I don’t know if that’s a majority, but I do think that mostly milquetoast boring criticism of large publishers (yeah they suck, sure, what else is new) actually has the largest actual impact here, even if more people share that criticism.
