The LinkedIn screenshot there is pathetic.

"I made a good game in 2016. I was paid for that; it was literally my job. Ten years later, they let me go." Oh no, boo hoo.

Also, the classic "everything is good when they pay me; when they stop paying me, they're evil." Are they not aware of how vile that makes them look?

There's an anecdote about Stalin (or someone else, maybe it's made up) where he plucks a chicken's feathers, and the thing is convulsing in pain. Then he offers it a handful of corn, and it starts eating from his hand.

A man should strive to be better than an animal.

What's the development cycle of a major game? If someone worked on multiple games from start to finish for a studio, how many games would they have completed in a ten year span? Do game studios allow developers to talk about anything and eveyrthing they're working on in public or do they have them work under non-disclosure agreements?

Who cares about any of that? He was being paid. It was not a charity, it was work.

Companies don't owe you anything. (And you don't owe them anything, either.)

Work is a temporary agreement to provide services in exchange for money. That's it. Understand how the world works.

		People who understand society care about it. When you employ someone you take on a certain responsibility. You can't negate that by pretending that you're in an equal power relationship. That's why we have workers' rights.

Although there are things to criticize in the Linkedin post, the moralization ego defense mechanism is not the one it employed.
