So geoguessr get stuck in the middle. I don’t see how sabotaging maps helps with anything.

Geoguesser devs opted to work with Saudi Arabia against its communities wishes. The community, who produce most of the content for the game and have full rights to it, have opted to revoke that content. By doing so, they hope to make the devs realize through economic pressure that they should opt out of this event.

If I loan you my work and labor out of goodwill and you opt to dash that goodwill, then you lose my work and labor. I believe the ancient tomes call this “fuck around and find out.”

Seems very reasonable and straight forward.
