What happened with Docker? (WotC have been killing goodwill for years at this point, but I guess the MtG folks have a bad case of Stockholm Syndrome at this point.)

"Docker is sunsetting Free Team organizations"

More likely the Docker Hub rate limit https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24262757 and the following exodus and confusion

WotC’s trust bonfire was about D&D, revoking the perpetual license OGL. That said I don’t contest that MtG players have Stockholm Syndrome.

Let’s not forget Reddit

Can't believe I omitted reddit and possibly stackoverflow...

Gotta wonder if HN will end up on this list someday.

And tumblr, when they announced they would no longer support creators of "adult" content.

And (nearly) OnlyFans, when they announced they would no longer support creators of "adult" content (aka, "did a tumblr"). They just about backpedalled quickly enough, and had enough stickyness (no pun intended) from followers, to contain most of the damage.

I don't understand how it is possible to advance to a decision-making role if someone is stupid enough to attempt to remove porn from OnlyFans, the household name for amateur porn.

Payment industry issues

They were pressured by their payment provider.

I think Unity did a lot more damage than any of the above. D&D is still a powerful brand, and while they angered hardcore fans and creators, the vast majority of roleplayers didn't even notice, and those are their real customers. Tumblr is apparently still around, and OnlyFans is still synonymous with amateur porn. But Unity has only those creators as their customers, and those stake their livelihood on their trust in the company, and with that trust gone, Unity could lose all its customers.

I'm still upset at Sony for cancelling Star Wars Galaxies. I avoid Sony products now. I know its immature of me and the product most likely would have been eclipsed by other mmo tech that was coming out but thats the emotional response.

I've been avoiding Sony products almost 20 years now because they thought it was a cool idea to put autorunning rootkits on audio CDs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_BMG_copy_protection_rootk...

And Twitter. Albeit in a slightly different way.
