No. That's entirely nonsensical.
You're looking for substance that doesn't exist. There isn't a shred of merit anywhere in that article.

No, it's not even close.
He's claiming being "bad" has inherent value. It's a terrible, incoherent article presenting an absurdly stupid opinion.
What a weird article.
They have varied characters because different people like different things. "Characters you don't enjoy" aren't and shouldn't be a design goal. That's idiotic.
The risk is that the business fails. There are no "sure thing" investments, especially at higher returns.
Ask him how his business can fail. If he doesn't give you a variety of possibilities and ways he's hoping to prevent them, I'd be very worried that he's overconfident and not prepared for difficulties.
No.
Solving the same problem isn't what plagiarism is.
And the problems are similar at best.
Yeah, I was initially super interested. Cut down the AC stuff, build out the ships, and you're good to go.
Then I found out it was live service trash and stopped caring.
The problem, beyond calling it Metal Gear, was that it handled exactly like Metal Gear.
MGS5 is a fantastic stealth action engine. It is not made for whatever the hell Survive was. If Kojima (or someone else) had spent time iterating on the engine to adjust the mechanics for the style of game, I feel confident the underlying engine is a reasonable base for it. But they pretty clearly just slapped it together.
For whatever Kojima might not have been perfect with, everything Konami has done since he left has been an open "fuck you" to the fans of his games. Survive was a fucking joke.
I don't think any of them ship with it. There are requirements to qualify to ship with the play store that include the refresh rate of the screen, and because of how e-ink works, it doesn't qualify. They require you to jump through a couple (minor) hoops to manually activate the play store.
I might need to look closer at this and whether it's an option for my max 3. I've tolerated that their version of Android kind of sucks and is kind of sketchy because it's just so much better for a reader than not Android, but I'd really like better control.
I was never too deep because I always hated everything about Windows UX, but I was stuck with them for gaming for a bit. Luckily Steam fixed that for pretty much everything I wanted to play but Madden (and after hours of it also not working on a separate Windows install I tried just for that purpose, I threw in the towel on that, too).
The funny thing is I actually kind of like the idea of a thin client as a general rule. Not for gaming or anything else latency sensitive, but offloading heavy lifting is perfectly fine with me. Just not in a way I don't have control of.
It's also breakneck paced, batshirt unpredictable, and forking delightful.
Also the season 3 and season 4 finales had me bawling.
