I keep seeing the posts about OW2 where everyone is acting like blizzard is getting destroyed by the poor reviews, but, like you said, they still already made bank on these games in spite of all the complaints that have existed since launch. Blizzard just out here like:

Let’s not think about the Reddit of today, let’s think about Reddit of old. Rome wasn’t built in a day.
I can agree with this to a degree, but can't we just not think of reddit? I mean, back then, I don't recall redditors obsessing over other sites as much as I have seen on lemmy. Digg was the top dog, and I don't recall daily threads about reddit's numbers or how it wasn't matching up.
It was just it's own thing and not constantly comparing itself to it's alleged competition. I feel like that helped it grow into it's own thing, and we should give lemmy a chance to do the same instead of trying to turn it into reddit 2.0. That said, I might just be forgetting—there could've been constant 'sky-is-falling-because-we-aren't-Digg' posts—but I just don't recall them.
Yeah, I was about to say, 99% of people are either unaware or do not care. Don't mistake Lemmy's privacy opinions as representative of the general population.
