They came with ads, and I said nothing...

Nice work, Wu - you F'd everything up.

Kidding aside, it's the whole damn landscape. Everything has moved to free(ish) content with ad revenue. Every person that uses an internet browser - be it PC, tablet, smartphone, or otherwise is complicit with this arrangement. This isn't the future, it is the now. Our data is already mined, and will continue to be. Our online presence has begun to eclipse our "real" presence.

It was already decided by a population far greater than us. I think we're fooling ourselves if we believe there was ever anything the gaming community could have done about it.

It's not Microsoft. It's not Facebook. It's not Google. It's us, all of us.
