That was an insider trying to extort the company by pretending to be an outside hacker. He then posed as a whistleblower to try and throw investigators off the trail.
If it was the plan from the beginning then why announce it via rambling tweets late at night, before it's even announced to the employees? LOLOLOL. UNICODE X "ICON" LOLOLOL
Interesting, is the ability to know when to exit a prerequisite? I would think there's a distribution between those you spoke of and some that just picked one thing and went forever.
Well what I mean is there's an ability to see precisely when just enough is done -- no more, no less -- before one can hand things over and exit with sanity and / or dignity. It goes hand in hand. Many work very hard and quit before _the_ critical thing is done, which in a sense forfeits all prior work; others continue working and working and burn out. The best understand something about timing, almost in an intuitive sense. I've seen it again and again, and it's impressive.
Instead of trying to create some FB vertical, a better strategy would've been to let the growing VR community of those years keep stewing, while sticking to the hardware and core software side to keep the tech moving forward. We had amazing things happening for a time, and the oculus purchase has basically made VR cringe and killed pc vr at the same time.
Sorry my sympathy for "starving" artists isn't sufficient for your liking. 95% of modern art is drivel that can and should be replaced by AI art. A recent walk through the MoMa in NY had me weeping for humanity. Filled with, in some cases literal, trash that any 5th grader could produce.
