Im gonna go with primarily the former with maybe a smidge of the latter peppered in. If you guys remember, prior to his small stint with SOE in 2013, he tried to make a start up in 2011-2012 and it failed. So he went back to SOE to work on VG F2P conversion where he basically snubbed the VG fan base. Then worked on EQ where he engaged the fans quite a bit but aparently his work was shit so he was let go and here we are. If this fails on top of all that, then it really is the end. He is in full on desperation mode.
