    So, these guys thought that this move would be bad for the company, so they sold off stock. It’s crooked, but I understand that.

    I don’t understand why you would move forward with the change in dev fees or whatever if you think it is going to be bad for the business.

      Because for some reason, our entire economy is built on short term profit rather than longevity and stability.

        I don’t think this is good for the short-term, or these guys wouldn’t be dumping stock.

          Stock market is dependent on news rather than actual business. Good news is difficult to develop and requires actual work to be done.

          Bad news travels faster, produces definite effects and gains immediate response and profit.

          What’s the worst that could happen, a company would go under. The vultures have already eaten their share and have made a killing in the death of the company.

          Who cares about the losers the consumers and the workers.

          The only good thing one can hope is for increased support for open source alternatives which are just there but not good enough for production.
