Well this definitely makes me reconsider using their IDEs now. How can you be that tone deaf?

This I can wave my hands at and say “Lawyers.” Their recent Rust move, not so much.

This seems to be how these things inevitably must go. Pay money to legitimately use a product or view a piece media. 🔜 Oh no, my money is now going toward funding something bad.

Jet rains here, Nintendo with their lawsuits, the entire MPA (formerly known as MPAA).

Unless their leadership doubles down on this, it's one department or even an external vendor acting in JetBrains' name. Doesn't make me think bad of them as a whole.
