I swear the format made me feel a decade younger...

Some good points over some of the failures of the original but the key point of because we weren't a fully coordinated united front, they couldn't just remove us.

They had a plan and we didn't which is why SBI and companies like it are a thing. If I was to have a plan, probably letting the big studios burn, apply the mark of Satan to any SBI like companies projects like the Steam group does and let the Indies just take over. A lot of these studios are too infested to waste the effort to 'save'.
