There's two different definitions commonly used. Saying one is superior to the other is super silly!
1: Claiming to follow one ideology and actually following another.
2: Sacrificing good "integrity" or "beliefs" that made you stand out purely in pursuit of hard material interests (money, popularity).
It's a bit questionable as to whether either necessarily applies to ROOT though. At the end of the day they're a pro-team, and pro-teams gotta do what pro-teams gotta do. Getting a few heavy hitters is smart.
I still dislike them for entirely different reasons though, so I'm cheering for Quantic (and Axiom) :3
