I'm not entirely sure how you read that as if I was saying it was a good move. Maybe I phrased it poorly. I was trying to say privatization in the first place is why it's in such a terrible spot by adding details people seem to be surprised by when I mention it. The entire existence of service Ontario was a shady government deal to make it look like they were adding public service while actually privatizing the majority of it.
Edit: I think it was my first sentence that was phrased poorly, I didn't mean service Ontario already being private was the reason for the staples deal.
The party changes were the most frustrating part for me, you never knew how long it would be or if anything major was going to happen so it was a toss up on whether it was worth spending the 5-10 minutes swapping gear around to maintain a balanced party. The entire game I was excited for the next one right until I finished and my first though was, "thank fuck I don't have to rework my gear again".
