What shows the lackadaisical attitude of leadership at CG is the fact that there's no increase in engagement, no upping the activity, no responsiveness of Ahnald being out. Five minutes after his video was seen at CG there should've been a meeting about, "hey, our biggest content creator is gonna be out, how do we keep engagement up?" And if the boss isn't concerned about that and spending resources to develop options and implement something, it'll just be more evidence of the apathy and disrespect they have for the playerbase.
Of course Meathead has some ideas, but is the decision maker concerned or still oblivious? (It's been days now and nothing, me thinks they are on auto pilot and just running the assembly line of planning that began 5 years ago. Apathy be thy name.) But, I could be wrong, now's your chance to be energetic!
