I like this . I feel like it is a bit of so you ' ve been shamed Jon ronson type thing . Like as much as I am pissed off its hard to not feel sorry for him . I mean he did lie and charged way to much but I mean essentially his reputation as a game designer is fucked and hello games is dead . Also everyone who bought the game feels betrayed and it ' s not like he would feel oblivious to this . Every day he doesn ' t make a statement would make it harder to bite the bullet . I wouldn ' t want to be him lol . <| sep |> facepalmYes . You don ' t literally have zero influence on the game . Duh ? Your examples suck because you are banking on there being a medium or retri , but at the very least your death meant someone else lived . So yeah , you influenced the game . The question still stands although apparently I need to make is more clear Should you lose elo because you don ' t want to do nothing but watch a whole game , should wanting to engage in a game be a reason to lose elo
