Is anyone else feeling more devastated than angry?

Like most of you, I've been playing off and on since I was 11. I'm 30 now. Like most of you, this game is very very special to me. I came back to Runescape (Rs3) in 2016 after leaving when EOC released. I started fresh, made a new account, and I maxed that account. I even met my wife on rs3. I spent most of those last few years playing peeking over the fence at OSRS. I watched content for OSRS, I kept up with it's updates, but I didn't play it. I felt like I had invested so much time into it, that the "other side" (osrs), just wasn't feasible. Last year, it happened. I just couldn't do it with the mtx anymore. It became too much. Rs3 is a beautiful game beneath all of the egregious bullshit, but there's only so long you can ignore the awful monetization stuff. It breaks my heart, genuinely. So I swapped to osrs.

After finally making the switch to old school, I made an iron and have put over 1000 hours into that character. The difference in quality of game is staggering. I fell in love with Gielinor all over again. People make the joke that rs3's monetization is what keeps the quality of old school so high, but it's hard to disagree when I've played on both sides of the fence.

Waking up and seeing all of this today, seeing the lengths the investors are willing to go to line their pockets, seeing our game that truly is an experience like no other, and a beautiful one at that, potentially be destroyed because of corporate greed, it makes my heart hurt. I don't think we realized how good we had it. I unsubbed today. And I don't feel vindictive in that decision, I feel devastated.

Thanks for reading.
