"The Zynga gig was clearly a 5 day a week, 24/7 requirement,”
Lolwut?
IndeedTsk tsk..
Time for a C-C-C-C-Combo breaker! Lou isn't a "dick". He's actually a really good guy who cared a lot about the company and the people working in it. I get that everyone here had a strong love of InstantAction and Legions. I also understand the easiest target will always be the CEO, but as an insider I can tell you your aim is off. Before and after the shutdown, he did a lot to keep people employed.
I won't say the IA shutdown hit him as hard as it did the rest of us, the ones who moved to Las Vegas and were stranded. However, I know he did his best to try and keep the ship afloat. Sure, I would have appreciated a little more attention and "love" for the Torque team…but there was a lot going on and IAC was not interested in our game engine tech. Lou had to focus on what IAC wanted him to focus on, which is to be expected in the situation.
I can tell you with honesty and certainty, the problems occurred above and below Lou, so if you have any logic you would not demonize him after reading my words.

Well, without getting too deep in that whole discussion again...All I know about Lou is that death seems to follow him.
Also, Fixious doesn't seem to like him.
