i just don't get it. i don't get participating in thirty years of doom culture only made possible because it was open source, watching entire games be built upon it, and then just not fucking caring in the slightest when micro-fucking-soft pulls the rug out. i don't understand not finding any value in that. it feels so staggeringly short-sighted, not to even imagine the possibilities of the next thirty years that are being withheld. not being merely apathetic, but actively searching for reasons to shrug one's shoulders, to explain why it's too hard for poor microsoft to do or why it's fine and won't affect anything anyway
and i especially don't understand being a nightdive employee and going "i guess i'll just make stuff up at this annoying nerd until she gives up and leaves, then call her hostile when she has to repeatedly waste time explaining why i'm wrong lol"
