When they exited the hospital the police were waiting out and be VA was detained for questioning for... 3 weeks. This voided their meeting for the next contract with a game I forgot, but it was from Sony and so they weren’t able to leave the developers to get a job elsewhere and with the ‘i wasn’t even in the city when you were there, I was detained’ line they kinda were dropped and been a part of Aliens colonial marines.

He's probably not the only employee who's dealt with abuse from Randy Pitchford 3. He was reacting into response to Randy Pitchford misleading the public, and possibly even slandering Eddings, by stating he was the one to refuse these contracts. Eddings is not the only person pushing for a lawsuit and he's likely hoping that by coming forward, others will come forward and increase the heat on Randy Pitchford, possibly even moving up into a class-action lawsuit or otherwise creating enough cases that their chances of success are much higher as interest in investigations increases significantly when there's multiple cases around one incident or person.

Not all psychopaths have all of them and the ones they may have may differ. That being said, due to how the world works, it is a fact that psychopaths are more successful in business because some of the more common traits of psychopathic personality are, indeed, very well adapted to taking from others to add to yourself. At the same time, not every psychopath is going to be a criminal, or even a bad person. I know it's hard to believe, but that's only because you didn't actually think for yourself. What you see in TV and news about psychopaths committing crimes is about the bad parts, of course. Being nice doesn't sell news that well. Is saying that every successful CEO is a psychopath correct?! Most likely not. Is saying that every successful CEO probably have some psychopathic traits correct?! Most likely...yes.
