My point is, these guardrails were implemented before the current admin ever intervened in Fable. They have the exact gangster mentality you describe. Many CEOs are lining up to kiss the ring, some literally offering gold bars, and we can see how that pays off for them.

But doesn't the timeline of events indicate that these guardrails are internally-driven, not externally-driven? I'm trying to attribute the guardrails and their severity appropriately.

Well I did say they'd have to have some safeguards, certainly, so I'm sure they had some in place. I only had access to Fable 5 for a few days before it was pulled, so I'm not sure the precise guardrails prior to the Executive Order. People claimed the EO resulted in discussion, and change, because it was "bad before" and "ok after", so presumably something changed.

The veracity of that? I have no idea, really. I simply know that the current admin is staggering around like an abusive, angry, drunk of a parent, lashing out at everything and everyone, making the world we all inhabit a crappier place.

So there was an EO, then "things were fixed" to abusive man's standards, so I presume that means crappier in some way.

It's the best I've got.
