that's not what it is. some of us are just more realistic in what they would do given their track record.

the game might not be fine but that doesn't mean they will make large changes that affect small amounts of people.

and it also is a zero-sum game, resources they put into something like this means resources they won't put into something else. what's not going to happen is SE opening the wallets.
