He noted,
“If we can’t make cameras in a computer work and despite all the previous failures we’ve had, there’s not a single person here who can make sure that either the studio’s operating—secondary studio’s operating—we’ve gotten to a point in the company everyone’s just kind of kicked their feet up and said ‘I’m doing what I need to be doing.’”

In fact, he highlighted working 16-hour days and, more strikingly, admitted that he hasn’t seen a weekday sunset in four years.

However, some have even speculated that Pool’s decision to step back might be influenced by recent allegations that he accepted Russian money to promote propaganda.
