Editor-in-chief for MMOHUT fired for not selling out-Activision?

MMOhut's frontpage blev efter uppköp fyllt av ads, och de som ville behålla andan i företaget blev överkörda av pengaviftande slipsnissar utan erfarenhet av att driva ett spelrecenserande företag eller youtubekanal. Skamligt

Quotes:
"When I came on board I was tasked with maintaining the sites' popularity by continuing to create content in the same style, and maintaining the sort of "indie" feel the site had developed. I was excited at the opportunity to turn my passion for gaming into a career. (This was my first full-fledged job in the gaming industry.) However, I quickly realized this company did not share the same passion, but rather viewed the site as a cash cow they could milk profusely.
In just a few months, the site's front page had devolved into nothing but ads. (No, seriously, go look at the front page. Everything you see is an ad.) My attempts to push content to the front page instead of ads were met with firm no's, and unwillingness to compromise. I quickly realized that I was not going to be able to "revolutionize" the site. This sucked, but I thought I can at least still focus on creating the same quality level of content. (It would just be harder to find.)"

"During all these events I began to realize who the seedy individual was behind all these changes. Let's call him Simon. (EDIT: Simon is NOT Omer)
Simon is a shithead. Simon is the annoying childhood friend turned baby boomer. To give you a little glimpse into his moral background, Simon used to be a producer at Activision. On several occasions I've caught Simon doing the following activities at work:
-Sleeping in his office
-Shopping for islands online (Yes, real islands!)
-Playing with his tiny dog, that he brings into the office everyday. Mind you, dogs are not allowed on the premises of the property, but he somehow got his dog certified as a service dog. This way he could bring him into the office, despite him lacking any actual disabilities.
-Touching other people's shit at their desk when they aren't around. He actually admitted to breaking people's property, but because of his seniority he never got in trouble."
-------------------------------------------------
"So now I'm unemployed, and the site remains without a captain or anyone actually trained to manage it. I soon found out that Simon impersonated one of my co-workers by forcing him to let him use his own Skype to find out sensitive information from me, before I was fired."
