@judgedread I am more inclined to believe that it was bad tech/deployment; I never used "Shing" but I imagine that that would be a good way to tell whether the rumors of Torba being an incompetent micromanager were true or not.

Altman's just trying to get a bigger exit because the upside of an IPO is probably higher than whatever number MSFT gave him on the back of an envelope. I don't think he's gonna get the valuation he wants and I think MSFT wins this round but call that 60-40 (with a 0% chance that I am wrong about the premise).
