The thing I love about this is that there's this fucker exec over at EA, let's call him Tucker, Tucker the fucker.
Tucker the fucker is an industry old timer. He'll be showing off his Porche 911 at his 40 year high-school reunion next year and he won't know why that's douchy or what douchy means. Tucker don't code and Tucker don't game.
Tucker the fucker certainly hasn't heard of Reddit.
Tucker the fucker likes work a lot, at least he spends a lot of time there avoiding his bitch second wife and taking out his frustration with his ungrateful brat -- now thankfully gone on to college -- kids on his employees. Despite being generally disliked and ridiculed by those below him he has a good track record of bending over when the big boss unzips, and that's how he's shmoozed his way into the office of Chief Security Officer at EA.
Since Tucker is a fucker he likes to yell and only listens to the shyest and most spineless of his underlings who parrot his misinformed dumbassery back at him. Sure a few well-meaning engineers have tried to engage him a conversation about DRM. "Less is more. Look what's worked for the music industry. The best you can do is slow the pirates down by a day and even if you could stop them they wouldn't buy your game anyway because they live in the third world where $60 will buy you a month's rent on the favella with enough left over for a barrel of cachasa" is what they would have said if Tucker hadn't interrupted with a story about how went disco dancing with the mafioso who financed Ms Pacman.
Tucker the fucker has a spreadsheet he likes to put up on the screen at meetings. The numbers where shat out of his intern's ass, but he calls it, "the data". "The data" demonstrates that a $1 million investment in shit DRM will earn the company $200 million over five years. The truth is that it will never break even and his $650k in salary and stock is a deadweight loss to the company and people want to tell him that but people don't want to get yelled at or subjected to stories about disco.
Oh, right, I was going to say the thing I love about this. The thing I love about this is that by this time Monday Tucker the fucker will have heard of Reddit.
