I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

Not saying this would’ve stopped the layoffs but laying off employees while having money to throw into tournament prize pools is why I hate this eSports-centric era of fighting game development
Riot Games lays off roughly 80 employees from 2XKO team

The amount of money Riot was pumping in to the fighting game scene in an attempt to eat up more “esports” space was never gonna be sustainable. They didn’t want an industry plant, they wanted a whole ass industry greenhouse. I’d love to see the people saying 2XKO would be a revolution speak now.

Discord says hackers stole government IDs of 70,000 users
As more sites require IDs for user age verification, expect more such breaches to come.
