@arstechnica journalistic correction: "Volkswagen Group", not "Volkswagen".

And yeah, that matters a lot: it's a bit like saying Audi or Porche or even Lamborghini invested those 5bn instead: those are also owned by VWG.

(Or saying that "Facebook" is investing in something when it's actually Meta doing the investing)

@arstechnica It's okay though, because they weren't fired over this, they instead resigned before they could be fired, so they can just apply to be a cop again after taking a nice vacation. What a system.

@arstechnica if only Steam or console folks would, you know, work with devs? They're plaforms run by other human beings, they can just decide to help fix this nonsense and then penalize WB for dumping this on everyone else's lap.
