I think this story is meant to be uplifting to those who are troubled by their past, but to me, I just see all the politicians and grifters looking on hungrily like "Yeaaaaaah?"

"People who enjoy idle time tend to be more creative" seems like an equivalent statement. It doesn't have to imply causality one way or the other. And I think the word you're looking for is correlation, not coronation.

You can extract a lot of money from a company by torching its reputation. It takes people a while to catch on that they can't trust a company anymore. Buy a company, remove all the costs that give them their competitive advantage, then

The indie game market is far from a niche genre, and expectations remain within reach of the tech available to solo developers. It has never been easier to get into hobby game dev than it is today.
