#goio

I hold the opinion that the rydrs are either a cause or a direct product of the downfall of goio’s community. They only exist as they do now because they fucked over other people. They took advantage of the competitive scene’s decline and got as many good players from other teams as they could. Which makes sense, thats fine. EXCEPT. Those players could’ve started their own groups and the comp scene would’ve eventually reached a stable state. As it is right now, its fucking doomed.

Rydr basically has a monopoly on the very experienced and trained players. So every medium player who showed up and wanted to get into goio was just crushed. So most of them left. Even the few who did stick around long enough to become vets, they weren’t enough to make a difference. And then people just “oh man i wonder why the community is decaying, what happene-” YOU HAPPENED.

When a monopoly exists, you can eventually only do one of two things: Give up or Give in.
