I can't help but notice that Wolf3D is still available on the App Store, swastika intact. Perhaps these small developers are easier targets than Zenimax when deciding which apps to sacrifice for the sake of grandstanding.

If you stick around for the long-term, you can make $130k-150k as a GS-15, work eight-hour days, and get a sweet pension at 55 instead of the Logan's Run layoff-crystal going off when you turn 30.
