Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

legal != moral
also it was done by their users, not them.
Fortunately our laws aren't about what's moral or not. You need religious police for that.
The correct process would have been to issue a takedown request, then go after the domain if nothing was done, they just jumped the gun.
what i mean by moral, is about things being fair or not, and this is clearly not.
see, the fact that they can jump the gun, but the end users cant is the problem here. even the correct process is very biased towards big companies because they can afford a lawyer army to harass people with weaponized bureaucracy.
who cares besides them anyway? they cant sue everyone.
