      This is not a story about a small studio in the game industry who kicked out an old person. This is a story about a exec making nearly a million a year upset that he was fired.

      As if Microsoft didn’t also let thousands of other people, of different ages, cultures, geographical locations, go as well.

      But apparently, this guy gets the microphone.
