Here’s another question:
How could EHG not see the backlash from this nonsense when it was tried by other companies?
And the Answer?
This is what happens when you allow giant anti-consumer soul-stealing corporations to take a stake in your team.
You’ve set yourself on the path to The Ruined Era (2023->) of videogames.
