Blaseball will not be returning. I just read this announcement out loud to my partner & I guess it's appropriate that here at the end of it crying should be un-redacted. https://t.co/dE5hkZgtxh

I'm so sorry for everyone laid off, everyone whose hard work over the last year has gone up in smoke. Capitalism is a fucking horror game, & not in the fun way.

I'm also profoundly, almost unspeakably grateful for this game's existence, for what & who it brought it into my life, for the friendships & connections that might not have existed without it, for the shared language & communities that spun out from it.

In so many ways @blaseball & its community built mourning into themselves, built themselves out of mourning, so it feels almost redundant to say this, except for how it hits so different: Rest in Violence, & godspeed you beautiful god-killing bastards https://t.co/NmyCj8yjUy

also idk if this is premature but if it's at all possible I hope @BlaseballCares opens again in some big Final Siesta (thank you @dastridly) way for us all to pay charity with our mourning weeds
