Reminder that Ben Kuchera was at the forefront of trying to sabotage the incredibly talented indie developer Tim Soret, when Soret was showcasing his beautiful game at E3. All for the clique.

I have no idea what's going on in regards to Kuchera's kids and what Vox Media did.

Damn. Ben really did you dirty and Karma paid him back in SPADES. Only ones I feel bad about are his kids. They don't deserve that shit.

Wow. That is a lot to digest. I had no idea there was such a political, for lack of a better word, aspect to feature writing. If you have an editor you really trust, and they suggest (suggest being the operative word) changes, that's great. Another set of eyes. What Kuchera did sounds very different, and completely wrong. Also, massively arrogant and probably rooted in deep insecurity. As a reader, I want to hear different opinions, in the writers' own styles, not some homogenized version of what Ben Kuchera, etc. think is good (or, maybe... not so good, which makes them seem better by comparison.)
