   Atari earned more than a billion dollars in 1981, and helped Warner revenues reach $3.2 billion. By this time, Bushnell was gone — a disagreement with management over the pricing of Atari’s 2600 home console was the final straw, but due to a contract clause stating that he’d get no money if he quit, he merely stopped doing any work until he was eventually fired, and then collected $100,000 a year for four years.

         @purplephish20 It goes back to a lesson I learned playing Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles. If you never want to be asked to do a job again, just do it /really horribly/ until someone takes it off you

               @purplephish20 Well yeah. I'm begining to think that sometimes, that's not such a bad outcome.
