As I said, large portion of this player base has completely lost track of what's important in life. Your rhetoric alone is unbelievably crass considering we are talking about a video game, for which some people report incredible discomfort playing it. Yes, the correct and healthy way to go about such a state of being, is not playing this game. Video game addiction is a serious issue with hard real life repercussions, not some funny haha joke.

You conclude that, because you are making it all up, instead of comprehending the points I am actually make. If someone is legit struggling with the easiest of easiest content, then yes, there does come a point where it becomes reasonable to ask if this is even the correct activity for this person. Especially if playing the game causes that person to experience strong discomfort. This game is an entertainment product, after all. If you think that is the same as our "you don't have pink parses, therefore I won't even clarify my own word vomit" clown, then that's simply your personal failure. Further, be very careful with trying to legitimize such "appeal to authority" arguments, because, as you said, there is always a bigger fish.
