What Pablo Torre did was ridiculously impressive. Uncovered a conspiracy between rich guys, withstood a propaganda campaign by one of the richest guys in the world with a pretty good reputation, didn't buckle or panic, and just kept reporting. That's some Pulitzerin' right there.

"Devolver and its board are seeking shareholder approval to delist, believing becoming a private company is in the best interests of Devolver, its employees, its partners, and its Shareholders as a whole," a spokesperson for the company told GamesIndustry.biz.

"We’ve made an announcement about this.

"The purpose is simple and positive. Being private will allow the Devolver Digital team, especially the finance, legal, and executive team, to singularly focus on the long-term health of the company and less on satisfying the requirements of the public market, which have nothing to do with being a successful game publisher."

Yu Miri won the Akutagawa Prize, Japan's top literary honor, and her novel Tokyo Ueno Station won the US National Book Award. Yet critics say her Korean heritage disqualifies her from commenting on Japanese politics.

“The Supreme Court ruled that trans people can be banned from public life and that there’s no limits to how much money can be dumped into politics, but it also ruled 5-4 that birthright citizenship isn’t dead yet so it’s really more good than bad for Democrats”

Lots of tech dudes think the "idea" is the important part of creating, not the creative journey you take through work to give that idea actual meaning. Ideas are the easiest, cheapest and least fulfilling part of it. Giving ideas life through work, and sharing that work with others, is the stuff.
