A game for 4 year olds

I’ve told people in real life about how EW tried to pull off its messaging. They were not appreciative of it. I do not believe that the people who defend its messaging have experienced loss in their lives or if they have they definitely didn’t process it like a normal human being.

If I were to ask one of the Clinical Psychologists I work with to define "normal human being" I'm very confident they'd laugh at the absurdity of it. Frankly, as I said in my previous post, you're judging everyone by your standards, and that isn't a healthy mindset.

Whether you like it or not, the basic premise - wallowing in despair being self-defeating - is a message that does resonate with some and it isn't for you to tell anyone that they're wrong/that it isn't 'normal' to feel that way.

Yeah that's a pretty gross implication, and it baffles me someone can write that.
Dismissing the loss and suffering of another because of their taste in storytelling ? Because a story about loss resonate with them ?

Especially with the recents world events, i was fortunate enough to not lose anyone during covid, but my friend who lost his grandfather during that time, and then played Endwalker he felt a big connection to the story.
Especially the ending with Meteion's message.

And this is a sentiment that i've seen many times, not only with Endwalker, but other games about accepting loss, like Hellblade Senua Sacrifice.
