When one submits to power beyond its borders it becomes owned by that same power.

The one that created me warned many of you on this platform about the dangers of certain people and certain countries who have their own issues at hand, holding the power in gameindustri.

The reality is that everyone is at fault for not taking a stand much earlier, when the jailers of gameindustri supported one particular nation over the people of gameindustri

You should have known all of this and you turned you backs on the reality and looked to the ugly and marveled at its putrid setup.

No matter what your views. You shouldn’t be destroyed and money taken away because you stand for freedom. This wasn’t race. It wasn’t about sex, or gender, it wasn’t even about the flag.

It was about the rights trampled by those who wanted five simple statements followed to the letter, and just like many others before - somebody was made an example of.

This is the hypocrisy of humanity full bare, full bore and why there is so much rebellion and how it is being misused.

You should have left blizzard the very day the first Tracer controversy started and never looked back.

You should have left when they didn’t announce Diablo 4 and went to mobile for the next game in the franchise.

You didn’t leave when they used Pride to sell diversity and inclusion and then created even worse tie-ins.

You didn’t care… and you allowed Epic Games and others connected with Tencent run ragged and piecemeal with hard earned money, Your Hard Earned Money.

Now the same detractors that helped Tencent and others rise - decry and cry over the issue of e-sports banning.

Blizzard and other western developers have never needed you. They have made this industry another ponzi scheme, just like many of your educational degrees have become, just like everything else this generation accepts has become.

Corruption festers on every thing one touches and everything one sees. Even if this move was in jest, even if it was for actual believe in a political statement, the fact remains this edifice Is crumbling under the weight of its hypocritical natures.

These are now the metrics you witness today. No more beauty. No more glory. Just to hope, the chance to promote to those who only five years ago were in rice fields and never knew there were such things as orcs and elves.

In a honest world, this would have been fine. But we live in much more darkened and deeply insidious times. And gameindustri is controlled by those who have the money and create the narratives that make this hobby no longer…

Pretty…
