Gio's post is incredibly slimy in a lot of ways but I don't think "he should've taken it to court and beat hussie's ass!" is a real point to make considering from the implications of the post (and basic reality) Hussie has an actual legal team that Gio, a single person who is already paying thousands out of pocket for a consultant, probably does not have the money to fight in a full on court battle. Not only that but like yeah legally Hussie's got Gio by the balls when it comes to the asset pack so really Gio's only course of action when the licensing goes south is to make a post like this. He could take Hussie to court over the implied attempts to sign a license he can't view/the implied browbeating of Bambosh while Gio's NDA was withheld (probably the only major claim with any real credence in the article). Which like, everyone involved was aware of, including him. There's multiple parts of the chatlogs where he just effectively acknowledges that even though he's much weaker than Hussie legally and positionally if this goes south he has the credibility of the Hiveswap Debacle posts to just like full-send it in an article. That specifically isn't really blackmail but is slimy as fuck for a lot of other reasons (namely: how most of the article is presented).
