I feel like we need a catchy word for this "destroy creative works for tax purposes" thing that has become increasingly normal in the past few years. It's hard to call it out right now in a way that gets people riled up about it, because it's hard to explain to people what it even is. I think part of the reason why so many corpos have become okay with doing it is they realized people don't understand it, and so must assume they are killing the thing for a good reason. I know I was perfectly willing to assume there was a good reason for this game getting delayed back when that was announced.
