The least controversial opinion here is big companies need to stop with acquisitions.
I believe I hold the 2nd least controversial opinion of, mergers suck and all but I really want to like ABK games again, and I sure don't see them fixing shit on their own. I think their games and company would improve under Microsoft.

I kinda get this. It's not reddit that I need, I just need aggregated links of shit I'm interested in. A "front page" to my internet, so to speak. There are plenty of the smaller communities that don't yet have much presence here, so I feel a little itch occasionally, but hopefully they'll start to develop too.
As long as this place continues to grow, it could be really easy to just abandon that old site. I'm trying to contribute and help that process.
That's like telling the office that the guy who just died is going to be missing his upcoming meetings.
