I think everybody who's mildly into #RTS knows that, but in case someone didn't, here are some facts:
1. #BlizzardEntertainment is actively supporting fascist government of #China[1][2]. This is why me and many other people #BoycottBlizzard still.
2. Many high-level people from #BlizzardEntertainment quit and started #FrostGiantStudios[3]
3. While we still wait for an #RTS we can enjoy ethically, a great idea is to play #AgeOfEmpires, which has recently gotten a gorgeous make-over in something called "Definitive Edition"[4], which compiles base game, addon and all the additional content spanning twenty years. It even got its first DLC just two days ago![5].

@jonn Sent you an invite. AoE's been one of my favorite's for years. I mostly play on AoE2HD though, some of the latest DE updates broke Proton. Do you play on a Windows partition?
@jonn nvm, figured out how to get DE multiplayer working on Linux. My steam code is 94424484, 1v1 arabia, let’s go
I've played just two ranked games of #AoE2 so far, but I was a mid-high diamond zerg in #StarCraft.
If you're interested to play against me, add me on steam: 899243398
