It's over bro, the developers who made the game you love are long, long gone. That isn't your company, it's a corporation wearing that company's bloody torn-off face as a mask

It's a lot easier to accept when you absolutely know the people who made your favourite series are gone.

Used to, but I'm a little past the age.

I agree except the part about revolution. There was no revolution my friend. Just a temporary protest that didn’t accomplish anything.

I know it got quashed; I'm not saying there was a revolution. "Free Hong Kong, the revolution of our times" was the anti-oppression slogan said by the victor of a heartstone tournament (which there was no rule or stipulation against), which caused Blizzard to ban the player from all tournaments, and refuse to pay him the prize money he'd won in an attempt to suck up to the chinese government.

To clarify: I don't expect a gaming company to stand up to a full blown authoritarian regime. But I certainly won't support a company that willingly goes the extra mile to sell out to them.
