Here is my sanskrit for the day. Many of the disputable feelings
that were posed here, and elsewhere can be broken down into a simple thought.
A known quote "Tis better to have loved and lost, than to never
loved at all". Alfred Lord Tennyson
Ehhh, subjectively it could be true, depending on the individual circumstances.
That's kind of like a supermodel, saying that looks don't matter. Yeah...Okay.
His quote, can be paraphrased as "It's better to have something that's treasured,
than to never have had it in the first place".
But, in gaming it's actually received as the opposite.
Example: People that find the exploits in a game and post it on Youtube, but make
a guick save of that game version before doing it. so they can continue to use it.
The result is the Gamedev patches it, and the rest of the players feel and are SOL.
So the on going sentiment that can be traced not only here, but, in other why, why not
posts, follows the same emotional logic. The aforementioned is actually an oxymoron
thus cancelling each other out.
People don't miss anything they never had. But harbor strong feelings for what they lost.
QuoteThinks about this: Every open door in the game is a jar.
So if all the POI's being built from now on, had open doors would it be considered a win loss or draw? 😉
