You know, in a world of dozens and hundreds of game makers losing their jobs on relatively short notice because some rich fart gambled too high on a potential buyout, the lesson should really not be "They're killing your favorite video games". I'm sorry, but that's just in poor taste.

It's a click bait title for sure, but it grabs the attention of game hobbyists in order to explain a grave situation and I justice going on.
But, I don't disagree with you, either
I do think it's a reasonable entry point for those who do not understand the labor implications of this. Approaching people with the sentiment that their favorite games are dying makes the segue into how problematic embracer actually is much easier.
We can ultimately be upset about both things, that embracer is killing games while also killing jobs.
