Just repeat to yourself...it's just a game
..what?

1. Logically speaking, I don't see why the quoted person would even know what the OP says they are giving away.

2. If the Curse staff wasn't blindly stumbling in the dark for an explanation, there would be no debate about the ending.

3. The only thing that genuinely pisses me off in these discussions is that "it's just a game" garbage. We're having CONVERSATION, not planning a coup or basing our lives around someone else's creation. I can have an opinion, you can have an opinion. People are free to agree or disagree. I sure as hell am not going to change my name to Moonbeam Starchild, grasping hands with the community while singing Kumbaya and yelling out that every thought is an individual whathaveyou.

Yes it's just a game. Guess what? That's the whole point of this forum, the General boards being only a very SLIGHT exception(in that they're mostly game-dominated as well). They're kind of important here, in that they're the focus of all discussion.

My real life is not affected by what goes on here. I come to this forum in my free time to discuss games and a company that I love, I do not come here to join in your "just a game" chorus. There are no opinions in this space, there is no diversity, there is no unique spirit. Stop telling me that I can't contribute what I want to the conversation, because everything I said was both valid and on-topic. Don't tell me I'm an overreacting anger management case, because that kind of talking down and diminishing of the value of my opinion and contribution to the discussion is the only thing about this discussion that has made me remotely peeved.
