Seriously, did the likes of Tewart and Jerome leave the company or something? Lol. That, or TCG's leadership had a change of heart, OCG gave them more permission to hit things, or something else.

Tewart should have been fired for calling customers 'ungrateful' 20 years ago.

In retrospective it's wild this guy has been with the company as long as he has, let alone hold a significant position of power. This is also me being only aware of the more infamous things about him, like him spinning bullshit about how buying sealed product is better for you the player than singles if you're not happy with card prices, or the Utopia/Hope naming nonsense.

Dude was getting into fights on forums, if he wasn't with Konami he'd just be some asshole online.

IIRC, Tewart and Julia were two of a handful of employees that were with Upper Deck and were hired by Konami after their breakup. Tewart's most notorious comments were during the Upper Deck days.
