I really don't think these are the same group of people. From the article:
The strike was ignored in some areas, reflecting deep political divisions in Israel after nearly 11 months of fighting.
Those are the people you're thinking of, and they aren't striking.
They'll get better at managing bugs. What we'll have to watch out for is other shit.
In particular, I'm not keen on the main menu ad for the DLC they slapped on, which stays even if you own the DLC.
