When Ellison pulled out of the negotiations, Gary and other executives resigned and were followed by around two dozen other staffers.
All I could get before the paywall kicked in.

Shitty situation but fuck this is good. Would love to see this more in the industry to shut down shitty practices.

Imagine that, an entire team resigning.
Makes me wish I remembered the names of people who argued with me, and downoted me when I said that resignation is always an option when you’re *NOT* okay with what the company’s doing. Guess all these people are just “lucky”, as I am, and don’t have to worry about their “tummies hurting” or “living on the street”.

I don’t know what to take from any of this.
So what?
Cool downvotes, but my question still stands.
What does this mean?

is there a TLDR?
Reading the article it seems some separation of gaming was being discussed, then not discussed so everyone resigned?
And now a bunch of dev houses are wondering what will happen with their game?
