Response from others and communities:

Once again, you're only catering to the "fan" communities of movies and games and TV shows, showing a complete disregard for other communities and wikis on the platform. Recently all of your changes have either been controversial or just the exact opposite of what the community wants. As mentioned in the comments below, it is very evident you are not listening to the community at all. That being said, I'd much rather you just skipped the whole PR thing and just wrote "You guys will be having no say in what we do" rather than lying to us and saying that you're listening to us when it's very evident that you are not.

I know a lot of communities that evacuated to Gamepedia to get away from this FANDOM garbage. Now you're like Communist China wanting to annex Taiwan. This is absolutely disgusting to see that you're going after the communities that specifically wanted to get awayfrom you. Meanwhile, virtually none of the recent changes you have been making to the site have served what editors and content creators are asking for, instead simply aggravating them with garbage like "Featured Videos" and unwanted domain name changes. I became hopeful when you unveiled a beta of a "Thanks" feature similar to the one on Wikipedia, but then you scrapped it when it was just what editors needed to attract new productive editors more easily. Your practices seem to be driving away existing editors and only catering towards readers that don't edit, who by the way aren't very impressed with autoplaying videos and malicious ads either.

I have been editing here for many years now, and 2018 has been the worst year for what is now a laughing joke of a wiki farm hosting service. If you manage to make 2019 even worse than 2018 by forcibly migrating Gamepedia communities to FANDOM then my God.
