First off, I think you’re absolutely right about your right to disable “this nonsense”. I support you in that.
But “this nonsense” is what makes games fun for me.
I’m not about struggling and finally overcoming.
I’m about having an adventure. It’s the interactive version of a book, where I engage my brain a bit more and explore or solve puzzles, instead of the book just telling me the answers immediately. I enjoy gun fights in games, but I don’t want to play them even twice. I want to win them and move on to more content. Losing a scenario doesn’t make me feel even better when I win. It just drags me down.
I have enough things in my life that I’ve accomplished by struggle that I don’t need it from games, too.
But again, if that’s what does it for you, I think you should have it, too. There’s no good reason you can’t disable it, IMO. (Other than the devs just not providing the option.)
Any time I see the word “exclusive” I know it’s a crap article. Yes, your own writers only write for you. That’s not what “exclusive” was supposed to mean for journalism.
Being unable to come to an agreement isn’t “exclusive” news. No shit. It’s not even article-worthy.
