Hussie has definitely had issues mistreating programmers in the past and it is shitty of them. Regardless of anything, Gio did a lot of work and it would be shitty to cut him out entirely. But we only saw them trying that move at the end after things had gone totally and completely sideways, and we actually have no idea what the initial plan was. Like, they could have still been planning to work with Gio indirectly but through Bambosh as the primary. They certainly seemed to insinuate both of them would get paid. Is that still just as bad, even if Gio gets compensated? I can't really judge what happened in the 7 months or whatever negotiations with Bambosh were completely stalled. It's kind of pointless to speculate about, but more to the point, Gio seemed completely unwilling to compromise on things that Hussie's side viewed as dealbreakers, and vice versa. So genuinely, I don't know what the expectations were here.
