Can't help but think the strike will be counter-productive. If enough games are still running that are significantly softer because all the good players are striking, then that's only going to make those still playing think that it's a good thing.
Kinda like when Taxi drivers go on strike to protest Uber, and as a result A) give Uber loads of free publicity and B) force commuters to use Uber
There are over 2k players striking I believe at the moment with further strikes planned in Jan when they expect to get even more players.
i only glanced at the thread but saw an abundance of players who weren't going to play anyway.
