    Microsoft has realized it can do absolutely anything and that the government will do absolutely nothing. And what is the point of all of this? A few already, enormously wealthy executives get a few more millions of dollars? Who fucking cares? The real important thing is the people doing the work to create a product that millions of others enjoy. That they have a job and can earn a livelihood. But none of that matters to the psychopaths who run these corporations. Why do we continue to allow this to happen? I don’t know why I even bother writing comments anymore. I’ve depressed myself.

      The only way to fight back is with your wallet. Unfortunately we are SUBSTANTIALLY outnumbered. It is what it is.

          People that are willing to abstain from purchasing a game in protest versus the “shut up and take my money” masses

            I’m still boycotting World of Warcraft, even though I’m a big fan of Warcraft and RPGs.
            I simply refuse to pay a subscription.
            Luckily, that worked well and the game didn’t take off at all.

      Blizzard don’t make Blizzard games anymore, all of the original staff left a very long time ago. They are just Blizzard in name and nothing else.
