A few years ago the MBA suits took over from the nerds and it became inevitable.

I'm not sure the nerds ever really had the best intentions, so were probably really easy to buy off

TBH I don't get why people criticize selling out as if they wouldn't do it, too. I don't want to sit and amass wealth indefinitely, if I have a company and someone comes along and offers "retire rich forever" money, I'm taking it and fucking off to somewhere fun. Especially if we're talking billions, no one will ever hear my name again.
