The real reason they killed GD.
They were tired of the community justifiably complaining about their atrocious service as of late (constant server problems, ridiculous banning systems, etc.) So they dismantled our avenue to voice our frustrations with them and replaced it with a reddit clone for white knights to circlejerk them in. We put the clothes on their backs and this is how they repay us.
Disgraceful excuse for a company.
