Well, as a marketing lead he needs to be aware that's all media outlets and the common reader will do. Nobody ever quotes a body of text in a PCGamer article, so every word and phrase needs to be very carefully said. Bad PR results in some serious disasters just because of some Redditor picking up on the wrong thing in an otherwise unimportant sentence - see Dear Esther, Kerbal Space Program etc.
Stormy and I had a discussion about this guy last night, and I think a lot of my own personal frustration regarding these guys is because I see myself in them, several years ago. I want to shake them and tell them that their dreams are incredibly hard to make, that it's fantastic to have these ideas but putting them together is the hardest thing they will ever do, and it is NEVER about the money - we build because we want to, because we can. He has a long, brutal road ahead of him that the odds are truly stacked against.
I admire his optimism, but I also think he's an idiot, and good luck to him. He's going to need it. Let him prove me wrong.
