Look, I don’t know if Riot really is pulling strings and shouting orders at the subreddit moderators or not like Richard Lewis’ articles suggest. Here’s what I believe:
- If you’re running a public fan forum for X and the company behind X approaches you, you trumpet it ’til kingdom come as a victory—you shouldn’t bury it. If you don’t, something’s weird.
- A NDA isn’t control, but it sure is ~control.~ There is a difference.
- “Trust but verify” will never work in esports. That’s why Richard Lewis and others investigate esports stories for more information.
