Re: alexis

this is such a reach!

First off, ''acting scared to talk to Hussie'' is not proof of bad faith, its a pretty understandable reaction if you know his history with lawsuits, NDAs, and how prior negotiations with fans have ended. Caution in that context isnt sabotage, it's self-preservation.

Second, the ''two whole years'' framing makes it sound like Gio was dragging things out for no reason, but even Miles' own post admits this was an on and off thing that eventually stalled because the core disagreement never changed. If the terms on the table are still ''sign a license that lets Andrew take control whenever he wants,'' then it doesn’t matter how long you talk, the issue isnt the length of time, its that the terms themselves were unacceptable.

And saying ''there were lawyers for both sides'' doesnt magically mean it was a fair, collaborative process. Lawyers don't automatically create equity, they protect their own clients interests. If Andrew's side was never going to budge on those control terms, then the presence of lawyers just means the power imbalance was more formally entrenched.

The ''he proved everyone right about him'' line is also just circular logic, it's using the outcome (Gio not agreeing to a bad deal and then writing about it) as retroactive justification for the mistrust that led to the bad deal in the first place. Thats not an argument, its just your bias being confirmed.
