The revolution eats its own children. The games industry used to be the target of hacker attacks, and cracking games, pirating them, was more fun than doing damage, according to the self-image of the 80th, 90th, 00th.
Who would have guessed that such a spirit could also turn against its own community, in a community where manipulation and deception took place even in the past, as long as it served one's own goals?
There has never been good and evil. Only feasible and delightful.
I regret it, however there is only so much we can do.
