It was on one of the podcasts. 2016ish maybe, possibly earlier.

And every time their response was either "fuck you, we did nothing wrong" or "we are very sorry that offended you".

Edit: Also that's not even a quater of their controversies.

Like you have the controversy with monies spouse Sheena, the drama with Shane.

The "connect the hots" controversy.

Double gold lootbox

Fucking everything to do with Joel.

Etc.

I prefer the Blizzard apology: “We’re sorry you were offended.”
