If I could pick a company that has fucked up more than Microsoft or EA, it would be IBM. For the past 20 years, the whole company has been on a wild bender of buying good products, and shoving them headfirst into the ground.
I read your article and still think my statement stands. In fact, your article shows that the behavior the author didn’t like from Red Hat existed long before the IBM acquisition. If you see the Red Hat treatment of its paying customers equal to what Broadcom is doing to its VMware customers, then I don’t believe you have a good grasp of the Broadcoms current behavior.

For all their faults, IBM has treated Red Hat and Hashicorp better than Broadcom has treated VMware.
