  Why are companies so fuckin stupid. They bought a product that basically prints money and then they proceed to do everything in their power to burn it to the ground. Just don’t fuckin touch it.

  I’m sure that going scorched earth is great for customer retention.

    When they announced the change to licensing from annoying to awful, the company I was with at the time immediately started looking for alternatives. I imagine that the announcement will be spoken about as the downfall of the company in future video essays.

      The company I work for did the same, it’s not easy to completely replace a virtual farm but we’re working on it :)

      I’d be surprised if this takes down Broadcom altogether, but could certainly kill the division. Oracle still exists, after all, even though they basically killed Sun and Java.
