r/games was once the upstart and had to gain enough users who wanted something more moderated/curated than r/gaming to get to its current position.

And now sticky with mods declaring "well, we will not do anything about the situation" sits at 0 upvotes (in reddit speak: it got more downvotes and upvotes), with a bunch of well-upvoted comments about how sub should participate in the protest. They are completely detached from their userbase.

I just read the sticky and those are some real stupid reasons to not blackout the sub, and instead just made a half-assed attempt to participate.

I've never visited r/games and now I'm glad I never have.
