Spez may still be a corporate sellout but at least in this instance he did the right thing, probably because he determined ratting out users who pirated wouldn't make him money
I'll acknowledge he did the right thing here, but I won't be happy about it.
I'm sure that this was his legal team that reacted and fought back. He must have a top legal representation, they don't sleep.
But the API stuff, that's full him, that's his idea - fuck "I'm pretty sure, I'm a great leader" spez
He didn't do it for you, he didn't do it for us. He did it for himself.
