Let's say hundreds of thousands (or even millions) of people enjoy playing Wordle each day, and that they enjoy playing the "official" version for the sake of network effects.

Let's say you wrote this game for fun in a few days, and within a month, a newspaper (one of the better ones, IMO) offers you life-changing money for it.

You think it would be better somehow (morally? just to be "epic"?) that someone decline that money and tear the app to shreds so no-one can have a good time.

I don't see how that route is positive for anyone, except in the Joker-esque "watch the world burn" itch to rebel against the Man.
