RE wants to be what GAF was in the 00s to the gaming industry (the exclusive club that Devs post on, leaks and news broke on), except that GAF wasn’t even what GAF was before they jumped to RE in 2017. Message boards have been outmoded as a form of internet communication. They are used to having their own tightly moderated echo chambers, and won’t use the other platforms so they are bitter over it.
I think that’s where the continued salt over Ninja comes from.
