@massivelyop so many thoughts about this.

For starters, everything in their statement is gross? Which makes sense because there was no way to frame it as a good thing for players.

But also, the fact that it’s a game, and games are for playing, is abstracted out into our recreation time being an “untapped” revenue stream for them — despite the fact that we’re talking about games that are, generally speaking, already paid for.

The crossed purposes is tangible in this statement.
