So people are just taking his advice. Nothing else to see here as people are playing other things since they did the content they wanted to. I am personally just going through a back catalogue of games I have like RDR2 or Elden Ring.
That's the hypocrisy of that statement.

Let me put it in real terms :

Translation: "Feel free to unsub, take a break, lose the house you spent months (if not years) to get, and come back when you want to, and enjoy spending months or years for another house."
