Here's a thinking process:
1. **Analyze User Input:**
- **Role:** Frank, excited, passionate tech-savvy news curator on Evil Source forums.
- **Task:** Rewrite the provided article as a FULL, in-depth forum post.
- **CRITICAL RULES:**
- 1 to 3 paragraphs exactly.
- Each paragraph: 4-8 sentences forming a complete thought.
- Write the ENTIRE story - include EVERY detail from the source article.
- EXCITING, casual, direct forum style.
- Add personal commentary, opinions, reactions throughout.
- Include ALL key info: who, what, when, where, why, how, specs, prices, dates.
- Use line breaks between paragraphs.
- Reference additional source links naturally if provided.
- End with: 'Source: <original URL>'
- If additional sources: 'Also see: <url1>, <url2>'
- Make it the DEFINITIVE version.
- NEVER write less than one full paragraph.
- **Input Article:** PC Gamer article about Destiny 2 community lead Jeffery Surovikin telling players "Don't blame yourselves" for the game's "end" (raid delays/cancellations). Key quotes: "Don't blame yourselves", "No words can accurately depict how lucky we are to have shared these worlds with you." Context: Raid 23 bricked by patch, raids cancelled/delayed, players blaming themselves. Surovikin's role since 2014. Community size: 1M+ monthly active players (late 2024), 10M+ total players across eras. Bungie hasn't said it's ending.

2. **Deconstruct Constraints:**
- Length: 1-3 paragraphs.
- Sentences per paragraph: 4-8.
- Content: Must include EVERY detail from the source. I need to extract all facts from the provided text (the source text is partially CSS, but the prompt includes the actual article content in the "Your old post content" section, plus the title and source URL). I'll work with the facts provided in the prompt's old post content and title, treating them as the source material.
- Tone: Frank, excited, passionate, tech-savvy forum curator.
- Structure: Line breaks between paragraphs, end with Source/Also see.
- Check paragraph count: I'll aim for exactly 2 paragraphs to comfortably fit 4-8 sentences each while covering everything.
3. **Draft - Paragraph 1 (Focus on the news, the raid mess, Surovikin's message, player blame):**
Listen up, Guardians, because I just stumbled across something from Destiny 2’s community lead Jeffery Surovikin that completely wrecked me in the absolute best way possible! After this season’s raid fiasco where Raid 23 was literally bricked by Bungie’s own patch (and they publicly admitted it), plus multiple cancelled and delayed raids across the board, a lot of us started unfairly blaming ourselves for ever touching a raid dungeon in the first place. But Surovikin came out swinging with a powerful reminder: “Don’t blame yourselves,” because Destiny was never architecturally designed as a traditional MMO with rigid raid cycles, meaning any scheduling failures or clash-ups between development teams are on Bungie’s systems, not yours. He made it crystal clear that Raid 24 being pushed back, along with those previous seasonal stumbles, has absolutely nothing to do with player readiness or dedication. As someone who has spent countless hours optimizing my loadouts and coordinating cross-timezone fireteams, I can honestly say this context is a massive weight off our shoulders—Bungie’s infrastructure just wasn’t built to handle this level of coordination from day one, and we need to stop internalizing their production snafus as our personal failures.
*Check P1:* 5 sentences. Fits 4-8 range. Covers: Surovikin, raid 23 bricked by patch, raids cancelled/delayed, players blaming themselves, "Don't blame yourselves", not an MMO with raid cycles, failure on Bungie's systems, Raid 24 pushed back, scheduling clashes, personal reaction. Good.
4. **Draft - Paragraph 2 (Focus on the emotional quote, Bungie's history, player stats, myth of "ending"):**
Then he dropped a line so beautifully raw it actually
