FTR had nothing to do with it.
It's my increasing frustration at the results I get from being a competitor. Killer Instinct is a primary example: I invested, what, eighteen full months into the game since Season 2 dropped?
Then I started making constant Top 8s since CEO 2015, but what do I have to show for all of those placings? A legacy of being Bass's beating stick. That's all the KI scene remembers me as now, and I can't blame them for it. The World Cup was the last straw.
So yes, that did leave me feeling resentful, but it isn't directed towards Bass. It's because I hate not having my effort rewarded at all. Since then I've taken a very aggressive stance when it comes to being a competitor, but again, said aggression isn't directed towards any players.
I'm just salty by nature, and I have no problem with admitting that.
