European here: I haven't even heard of HQ before in my life, or at least I have no recollection of HQ and their game. And I want to believe I am 'close to the Tech sphere' and read the news daily. If HQ wants to be the next massive media company (in my mid these are Warner Bros, YouTube, Netflix, et al), good luck to them. From this article I foresee a slow and painful demise of HQ. You can have the best product of the planet. If the CEO/big boss/leader is a prick, then doom is inevitable. Everybody will hate their jobs/lives and they will hate (ofc) you, the CEO. And everyone with a half-good idea will run off somewhere else.

That hasn't stopped Oracle or Zynga from clinging to life like a highly malignant tumour.
I wish that were true.
