Exactly, you’re willing to accept shitty business practices as long as the game is still “fun”, so why are you at all surprised that management responds to that by doubling down on shitty business practices?
Again, management doesn’t care, they already have the money. They can and will rip the copper out of the walls and bail to the next company, lather rinse repeat. This isn’t exactly a new phenomenon either, people hijacking companies and running them into the ground for massive short-term profits has been going on since before either of us was born.
What I’m saying is that this isn’t surprising in the least and that you were and are directly incentivizing this behavior by not having a fucking spine and continuing to patronize these companies despite their shitty behavior so your incredulity makes no sense, and also that you’re kinda stupid for needing that explained this goddamned thoroughly

Way to judge somebody you know nothing about!
I dropped the game a while back BECAUSE of their refusal to learn from their mistakes. That doesn’t make me stop wishing that they would choose to save their IP before it died.
I know that you kept playing after noticing the shitty business practices because you gave me that infornation yourself just a few comments ago, that is literally exactly the right amount of information to judge you for this specific behavior, and more importantly it’s not a moral judgement it’s an explanation of reality under a capitalist system which you seem to be struggling to wrap your head around
Do you think there might be a reason why people continued to come back to that game and play it? Maybe that it might be fun?
It is possible to enjoy something and acknowledge the fact that it could be much better.

Because short term profit milking is extremely shortsighted and as is evidenced by LITERALLY the article we are commenting under.

So, the way you see it, people shouldn’t engage with things they enjoy if there is a greedy entity on the other side?
Do you know how many hobbies that covers?

With that being your stance, I hope you stop enjoying every single thing you currently are. Because there is no ethical consumption under capitalism.
You can probably still touch grass without feeling guilty, actually you probably should anyway.
