What I don't get is who they're posturing for now.

They showed the developers that the game was fixed and there was no plan to negotiate in good faith.

They've shown the userbase they aren't responsive to strongly held concerns.

They've shown a potential IPO audience that they're capable of burning down the platform in record time and not even waiting until after they cashed out to do so.

They've shown everyone they don't even have the most basic understanding of corporate bullshit speak. It's not hard to put together "We hear your concerns and will assemble a committee of top minds who will proceed to ignore these concerns."

I guess they just want to say they didn't back down. That and $12.50 gets you a cup of coffee.

That and $12.50 gets you a cup of coffee.

I kinda wanna taste that coffee. And then try to never buy a $12.50 coffee again.
