It’s just what they expect everyone would think is a great comment since they themselves probably never enjoyed/experienced the game - thinking it may be silly. They may or may not believe the comment that they posted to be true, in fact they’re more than likely indifferent on the game altogether. They just felt the need to contribute something possibly riveting to get a reaction one way or another.

Used it quite a bit actually and found it to be overrun by screaming children and vapid, lonely people. It wasn’t anywhere as near as bad as Meta Horizon but still pretty awful. Poor moderation, not enough resources dedicated to making it viable on anything with a processor more powerful than a potato and just not great. We all wanted Ready Player One and we just got a cartoon IRC channel.

Oh let me be perfectly clear: I give precisely zero fucks what anyone’s hot takes on my opinions are. Never take criticism from someone you wouldn’t take advice from. Pay attention to me or don’t. Makes no difference.

Yet your fragile ego wouldn’t let you go without announcing you were leaving. Someone of stronger character would have chose to just move along. Like this.
