It's like every company that was~~n't complete~~ playing the social good will game and didn't appear at a casual glance to be shit just suddenly decided to...go ~~to complete shit.~~ masks off, because they saw it might finally be acceptable to be ghouls again.

Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure I FTFY. Wish it weren't so, but that's definitely what it looks like....
