Same, here's what I gather:
- Author is at Cobaltix, tech consulting company.
- Cobaltix has a Client, unnamed.
- Client bought 51% of a Studio, unnamed.
- Sony wanted to buy the whole Studio for $100M
- Original founders of Studio wanted to hold out for more
- Client rooted all of Studio's computers and fired CTO and strongarmed CEO into complying
It's super weird to me, like, why not just tell them you are voting your 51% shares to sell?
- conception 11y agoPerhaps they feared the CEO would lock them out of their assets (the servers and render farm).
- differentView 11y agoI assumed the original founders were holding access to the servers hostage. A prolonged litigation could have soured the $100M Sony deal.
- wodenokoto 11y agoBecause the original founders have taken the passwords as hostage.
- tehwebguy 11y agoAhhh, this was sort of hard to decipher.
