This still confuses me. It's clear they wanted to 10x licensing costs and /10 customers which assumably raises margins, but i still dont see it working out.

My international enterprise and all our business partners moved every broadcom product we have to a competitor. On top of that, they were very aggressive and combative with their sales+cease and desist threats.

They earned enemies for life. Some of us care about business relationships. Broadcom is dead to me and anyone that will listen to me.

That's the thing: Broadcom don't. Care, bother, whatever. You are not even a blip.

That's what people have been saying about Oracle for decades, and they're still going strong

For context, Broadcom bought CA.
