My post is not invalidated. You do realize one of the big reasons why the game has grown a lot recently is because the game was given out to a lot of people for free via twitch prime. But i wonder how many of those people actually stick around. I wouldn't say that many. None of my friends that joined via the free twitch prime stuck around. Its a slogfest whether you agree or not. Using the "if you don't like the story" excuse is so overused.

I guess its impossible to fathom that people play just for the gameplay and don't care at all for the story. There are plenty of people like that, that play this game.
