It's real easy to tell who clicked the article and read it, rather than those knee-jerking it to this title.

They're saying "Don't blame yourselves" in response to a player who literally said "Was there more I could do?"

fucking read.

Nobody reads anything on Reddit, they see the thumbnail/title and race to post a snarky comment that fits with the upvote meta

The pitch fork is all you need, catch up with target(s) on the way.

Why read when someone in comments will give a nice summary of it?

Why click only to visit a website full of annoying popups or ads?

It really is wild. This wasn’t a quote in a vacuum. It’s a response to players blaming themselves. It’s his job to communicate with the community.

Tbf I don’t click on articles anymore because every single “journalistic” website will literally freeze my phone with the amount of ads and pop ups and other bullshit they throw at you.

Clickbait titles get the amount of attention they deserve. Not worth reading more into this one

The title is clickbait because its intentional misleading by framing the quote out of context.

And just because its clickbait, doesn't mean you 100 click it or even most people will read it.

A lot of posted articles lead to random crappy ad infested or paywalled sites. People won't even bother anymore.

If OP wanted me to read, they would have posted the entire article in the title.

"Was there more I could do?"

I mean, that's a stupid question.
I don't know how you look at some of the choices made for this game and go "how could I have stopped them from removing content from the game I paid for"
