    Damn good read.

    Some side points to the main thread of the article itself.
    1. The merging of suppliers magnifies any weak points in the process.
    2. Don't have a golden goose man. The shit you'll need to allow them will bite you in the ass down the road.

    I'm going to piggyback off this.
    But we're going to go earlier, to the 80's, and the events that would lead to the birth of the EFF.
    Also, this one involves games!
