I love how April 25th of 2018 proved to us that if you just let things happen and then just clean up an easy mess, you’d have zero problems to deal with.
Had Wikipedia not made a peep about Todd Howard’s page, people would’ve vandalized the page today, had a laugh, and then move on.
But Wikipedia did show signs of warning, and this ignited ambition, a sense of challenge within the people. And when people see a challenge, see, they find ways to overcome it, because that’s what humanity is all about: “I can’t do this this way, I’ll do it this other way, then”. Loopholes. Finding ways around. Doing what people told you not to do.
Result: Every single page related to Todd Howard, including different language editions of the Todd Howard page, is currently under siege.
A quick laugh is much like a tornado or an earthquake: A force of nature you cannot and should not fight against.
It’s what Todd would’ve wanted
“See that Wikipedia page? You can edit it.”
