Pretty strong word, betrayal.

Someone on 9to5 Mac suggested Steve to put his money where his mouth is, i.e. pull his own software from App Store, before demanding from Apple employees that they leave the company. I think that's a good advice.

If the only chance for him to make a change is by completely boycotting the system, is there not a possibility that the system isn't that good in the first place? Are you insinuating that the Blizzard employees who were routinely abused should have just left the company and forfeit their source of income instead of trying to inspire internal change?

No, I'm not insinuating. I think I was clear enough: if you want others to bear financial responsibility for you cause, lead by example. Otherwise you do what any other hypocrite does: shaming people for something you yourself is guilty of.

Do a Neil Young thing, Steve. Pull your catalogue.

Because we all know how well Neil Young's boycott turned out!

So he should destroy his business? Seems like extremely terrible advice.

But he's okay suggesting others destroy their own livelihood?
