He made (and I think still does) content for various other companies. That doesn't mean he was poached. It only means he got paid (if he was paid) to complete work (likely freelance work). Freelance work falls under a different legal category than traditional work does. Then we have the fact (if he was paid) his pay was likely in game currency. I'm no expert in such legal aspects but its possible he didn't legally need to declare because legally he might not be viewed as being paid. Anyways we got way off topic so I'll end my part of the convo.

Off topic? I figured this was just a series of natural pivots where the conversation led us. I am just interpreting events from my perspective as I have been present for some time. I enjoy getting outside perspectives and doing stream of consciousness organic flow so I have just been responding to the ideas and questions you've been asking as best I can. Everyone has their own perspective so many intelligent people like finding an aggregate from many different lenses. If you ever want me to circle back to something or explain something better, I can. I wasn't trying to steer the conversation any direction since I don't know you well so I have no idea what would even be optimal there.
Indeed that is what happened. Thanks for the back and forth conversation. Reading the view points of others is always enjoyable and educational for all who partake.
