That's the producers of HLs job.  Basically all they do is try to
sell their product to money people and that's what they've done.
Whether they should've or not.  They are the ones knocking on the
doors and "doing meetings" to try to sell their product at any
price.  You can't really do a relaunch or a rebirth if you won't
let the damn thing die to begin with.  It needs to rest for a
significant amount of time and be handled by a new generation
of DIFFERENT PEOPLE.  This has been HLs curse for far too long.
The same damn people making the same damn mistakes over and over
again in a perpetual loop of astounding stupidity.

See, that's the whole point.  They shouldn't be keeping it going.
One of the big reasons we have all this garbage with the HL name
on it is precisely because they just had to keep it going when
it obviously should have been left to die.  At this point if anyone
really did love HL they would let it rest in peace to possibly rise
from its own ashes at a much further date.  If David A. is the
person to blame for keeping it "alive" maybe I've been focused on
the wrong people all this time?  Just because you can keep something
breathing on life sup****t doesn't mean you should.  Learn to pull
the plug.
