No, Google is using their influence and our reliance to steer society. Please don't forget how passive language enables the worst abusers.

They think it literally does not matter, and sales kinda reinforce this. The game was an enormous hit on release, but I think it gradually eats away at the faith of the customers as their experience falls to shit in the endgame where the rushed development is glaringly obvious. That's gotta add up and will eventually have an impact cause they sure as shit aren't learning the right lessons. Always remember the best outcome for the top deciders is the quickest biggest buck, and they will throw ANYTHING under the bus that challenges that. Especially thoughtful and rich game design which takes time and love to produce right.
I do agree, but indirectly, cause social media isn't inherently bad; It has been manipulated and exploited by oligarchs into weapons for information scraping and data theft. Zuck... Musk... Don't let them slink away into the shadow and blame the tech. There was a time when social media was mostly enriching and had a potential for community building, and they took that from us to profit massively. The internet is dying, and it's those psychotic freaks that have done it.
These fucking whale-scale welfare queens must be nationalized. They think this threat of 'taking our ball and going home' is going to scare people, and it probably will convince the officials already open to lobbying; but let's be very clear, they cannot just take their business and leave. Their infrastructure is here, their labour is here, and their market is here. If they really wanna sabre rattle, stop fucking around and say "okay then, leave, and pay the newly instituted 75% gross wealth and asset tax while you abandon Canadians who MADE you what you are today. And don't fucking come back". CEOs think they are indestructible, but we need only look to the past to see the truth, we just need principled and willful representatives who won't sell us out for chips. That's a whole other problem.
Surely overreacting to my correct observation that did not reflect on you directly will make you seem more reasonable.
