Not pushing the alert, would have changed nothing. And to be fair, isn't this how any organization in a democratic country works? Talking to their customers to communicate their problems? Raising awareness, animating people to talk to their local politicians, that's pretty common, isn't it?
I'd also include security concerns. Not as scary as anti-cheat rootkits from TenCent owned companies that millions of people willingly installed. Concerning nonetheless.
