If you are looking to give flowers to the artistry behind Gollum that isn’t this guy, you are looking for folks like Jason Schleifer and Bay Raitt from the animation team. Celebrate their names and achievements just as much or more.

Don't sit around morose saying "something should change." DO SOMETHING. Start mentoring! Join a union! Get organizing! You gotta walk the walk, too!

Devs suffocated under the immeasurable weight of their greed. Everyone who has worked there deserves better.
