It’s worth checking out Louis Rossmann’s take too: https://youtu.be/TF4zH8bJDI8
I rarely ever find myself disagreeing with either of them, so this is an interesting situation.
Edit: This is also a good take about live service, separate from the “Stop Killing Games” initiative: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NO38QvKraTQ
All I’m gonna say about Rossman is that he gives me the same Ick that Mr Beast has given me since long before the allegations about him hit. So far my gut has never been wrong about people that make me feel this way.
