MakieLab still exists, even though it is now owned by Disney. YouTube still exists and has its own CEO despite being owned by Google. Skoda still exists and is its own entity despite being bought by VW.
I don't see how his wife being the CEO of a company that got bought by Disney counts as him making points from an unsavoury position.
Firstly, people are not their spouses. Secondly, there's no proof I've seen that this company goes against the things that Cory speaks of.
Judging from the excerpt quoted in my original comment, it has at least been renamed to StudioLab.
Didn't say that it did. It's just something that I didn't know until recently, that I have only seen brought up once in the decade plus of Cory being treated as an important source of truth in this sphere.
I'm not trying to say that it somehow makes him full of shit or anything. Personally it gives me pause about some of his previous rants, and casts a minor amount shade on his position. But I also personally feel that the merits of a point made matter significantly more than the source.
I intentionally said nothing more than the fact itself in my original comment. Everyone is welcome to decide how important or not it is to them personally.
It's exactly the kind of thing that people tend to use to challenge someone's position, so I understand the confusion. Just wish people would stop coming at me like I kicked their puppy for bringing it up.
Doesn't go against anything he's ever said.
