> I'm torn. On one hand, I want to see Sony the company suffer, but it still feels unfair to attack and expose the people who work there - the folks who are just trying to pay their bills.
Companies can and should die. That's their secret superpower, that they can die without destroying and killing of all they consisted of.
That's why economy works. Companies that make bad decisions die and resources (human and the other kind) are absorbed by other entities. Sure it might hurt, but keeping alive company that makes bad decisions causes much more hurt to the world. Pissing off lots of competent people to the point that some of them did what they did is not a good decision for a company to make in XXI century.
