A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen

It's over bro, the developers who made the game you love are long, long gone. That isn't your company, it's a corporation wearing that company's bloody torn-off face as a mask

It's a lot easier to accept when you absolutely know the people who made your favourite series are gone.

I like this imagery. Do you write fanfic? 🤓
Used to, but I'm a little past the age.
You're never too old to go horny on main at AO3
I agree except the part about revolution. There was no revolution my friend. Just a temporary protest that didn’t accomplish anything.
I know it got quashed; I'm not saying there was a revolution. "Free Hong Kong, the revolution of our times" was the anti-oppression slogan said by the victor of a heartstone tournament (which there was no rule or stipulation against), which caused Blizzard to ban the player from all tournaments, and refuse to pay him the prize money he'd won in an attempt to suck up to the chinese government.
To clarify: I don't expect a gaming company to stand up to a full blown authoritarian regime. But I certainly won't support a company that willingly goes the extra mile to sell out to them.
