A 2016 talk by Tribeflame CEO Torulf Jernström about the monetization of mobile games called "Let's Go Whaling!" also caused a bit of a ruffle a while ago.

Ominously delivered with smug smirk, met by smug laughter: "I'll leave the morality of it out of the talk. We can discuss it, if we have time, later."

Turns out they would have had time later but for some reason opted not to.

It’s like the wonderfully pretty, comfortable offices of Phillip Morris. Help everyone forget where their salaries come from.
