Oh wow 😲, you mean statements like:

"You need a little friction to create games"

“Microtransactions make the player experience more fun”

“Nothing is eternal” about support for older games

And wonderful decisions like:

always-online DRM

Removal of Access to Purchased Games

microtransactions in full-priced single-player games

Making the same game 500 times

Partnerships with Tencent.

Might have been bad ideas that lead to a lack of consumer trust and we have absolutely no reason to be forced into buying from a game company we don't like since literally anyone can download a game engine and start making games for free? Are you saying Yves Guillemot has been wrong this entire time? That's impossible next you'll be telling me EA or Bethesda is just as doomed and indie games will be just fine so gamers will be all the better for it.

"get used to not owning your games."

Well you need to get used to not having money
