The Culture: SOBS' Sack of Slop Is Driven By Mammon As Much By Molech

Since some people don't do subtlety and need things smashed into their faces with bricks to get it, here's the Pundit.

This is where having a bunch of MBAs and videogame/software executives in the C-Suite results in for product development.

Before the pozzing. Before the gaslighting. Before the deliberate cultural corruption. This is what you get before all of this and it is entirely due to commercial incentives because these people think Line Go Up Further, Faster if anything that could offend the non-existent general audience got scrubbed out of the product.

The Molech Molesters followed up from their Mammon Mobsters, using what was already in the works as a trend over time to slip their own propaganda into the mix.

The result? On the surface everything is reduced to tasteless, formless slop fit only for paypigs. (Yes, SOBS definitely considers its customers to be paypigs and runs their business as a Findom festish operation.) Under the surface is where the poz hides, slipping past the obvious notice of the typical user and going straight into the subconscious where it festers like a nascent Chaos possession until it takes over.

That's how this is simultaneously insulting and injurious, and due to SOBS controlling the largest user network in the hobby they expect to wield Network Effects to get this change done and make it stick long-term.

You, gamer, are not served by this- not in terms of the hobby, and certainly not in terms of the culture in general.

So what are you going to do about it? Prove yourself a paypig and go along with it, or accept that you need to return to the Clubhouse where the Real Hobby endures>

Or just quit entirely, going out like a bitch.

Choose, before SOBS chooses for you.
