So who else is nuking their chatbox for the duration of EW till the end of the story?

Playing a social game and turning off the social aspect of it is eyebrow concerning at the very least.



I've cleared all story content of the game, including beast tribes. All of it had been predictable or done in some manner of way before, and some of it is very cliche. This is not saying the game is bad, just not as good as people that do not consume literature or other forms of story telling media hype it up to be.

I would elaborate further then, as that is not the way your post came off initially, but rather, utterly dismissive of any viewpoint in regards to the story and others feelings about said story past your own. Your views and life is not that lived of others.

Regardless, I still don’t agree. There is no difference in my viewpoint of closing off all chat filters in game to enjoy the story vs shutting oneself in during a winter storm and curling up to a fireplace to read a good book that just releases. You may not hold that viewpoint, and that’s fine. But I don’t. Truth be told, I’m kind of surprised by how antagonistic you are being in regards to this. But, c'est la vie. Follow your own path. I’ll follow mine.

I think these people you speak of need to be worried about other things in their life if moments in a videogame are memories held deeply in their hearts and cherished. Maybe they shouldn't be playing videogames till they sort other stuff out in their lifes.

Some of us work in healthcare related fields and are dealing with nightmare fuel right now in our lives. Secluded from friends, family, and overworked beyond measure. To those of us affected by such, I do not find time spent with friends and memories forged with them in this game when I cannot be around them IRL, especially with the insane work hours I pull every week, to be the thing you paint in such an abhorrent, abstract light. But rather, a way of connecting with them and a communion of our friendship and the joys we share in life together, given current circumstances.

I would hope that you would update your viewpoint in light of this. Not all are afforded the opportunities you may find yourself blessed with. And your life circumstances are not their own, much less mine.

Enjoy your day good soul, and be well.
