This is torture. The US is torturing children. Children whose words and whose art contain infinitely more humanity than the people keeping them detained.

it's genuinely stunning to me you'd keep a game in the hopper for a decade and then do huge layoffs after a single month. a month is nothing in live service terms. less than nothing.

The idea that everybody on the planet must forever be beholden to the default of babysitter of other people’s children except for their actual fucking parents, and as a result any attempt to opt of non-consensual babysitting must include getting my identity stolen, is an idea that must fucking die.

it drives you insane how much erosion of freedom is justified by concern for kids when the people who actually hurt them will never face consequences

I’m also seeing calls to cancel Nitro and send in a complaint via their support form. I highly suggest doing all three. Reply below has the latter
Here's the link for their "teen council" application form that's linked on their page and in which is the only way of feedback for these changes.
I'd suggest flooding it to all hell with demanding the changes to not go through. Inconvenience them.
