Hi-Rez is the king of creating a new game, pretending it's their "big thing" and then enshittifying it while their good devs are moved to the next "big thing." They are fad chasers who are constantly in a race to monetize a market and then move on.

I'm glad it caught up with them. Couldn't have happened to a better company. Apologies to the earnest designers and programmers that got caught in the crossfire.
