    The thing I don’t get is all these random LMG apologists saying “actually here is exactly why it happened and is actually completely okay” despite absolutely no one having a true inside view of the company.

    Like I saw someone just randomly guessing really stupid reasons why Madison is in the wrong, and acting like they have secret knowledge.

      But Steve didn’t contact Linus to give him time to prepare an explanation in which he would blame everyone else and say how sad he is! It’s just a poor $100M company, they are just humans and they make mistakes. :D
