?

I didn't call it that. Neither did I imply it.

It seems you have a major axe to grind however, so I don't think any neutral conversation is possible here.

You called it an overreaction, not a minor overreaction, fair enough.

We should call out companies on anti-consumer behavior (the same way we should call them out for anti-labor behavior, and look how gamers got behind that one). But I just don't think it's more important to focus on what it is, at the end of the day, a rather run-of-the-mill example of the way that companies fuck consumers over.

You can dislike both. Both sides can have good points and bad ones.

I just commented here because the secret implied that the company doing this to make more money should be considered acceptable and nothing to be annoyed or upset by, which isn't true for lots of people who are wary about the predatory monetization schemes of giant corporations.

And at the end of the day, by your own words, this is a rather run-of-the-mill example of the way that gamers overreact.

Both are pretty standard fare. Both suck.

I think that's reasonable

I also still think (and I know it wasn't you that said this) that this absolutely does need to be put into the same basket as general gamer overreaction/entitlement/toxicity, because the reaction is an example of that

Many of the people concerned with consumer issues bailed back with forced Battle.net. Most of this outrage is coming from stans who would have been all in for supporting Blizzard on any other platform.
