    I’m with you, Steve Jobs was such a legendary douchebag* it pains me to correct anyone.

    I think the Tripwire co-founder is referring to when Steve Jobs was fired by Apple’s board of directors in 1985.

    Jobs went on to co-create NeXT and Pixar, and Apple absolutely tanked. John Gibson has not been wowing anyone, and few have cared about Tripwire.

    When Steve Jobs came back to Apple in the 90s, it was literally Apple’s next big wave and they became a powerhouse.

    It’s actually kind of nice that everyone has forgotten this part of Jobs’ narrative, and it’s comical that the founder that left a shitty little game studio in 2021 is comparing himself to Steve Jobs. Uhh… sure, in some ways.

    * If I remember correctly… Steve Jobs literally stank because he didn’t think he needed to wash. He never had license plates on his car, because apparently at the time you could drive a new car without plates so he just bought a new car when the time expired. He ignored his first child for most of his life. He thought he could out-vegetable cancer and then tried to jump the organ donor line because he was rich?
