What's annoying is the people that then go on to say shit like "but you're denying yourself a good game" and it's just so weird because my response is almost always "and?". And they can't comprehend that you're fine with passing up on a good game.
There are so many good games out there, why do I need to spend time with this specific one? Because you were dumb enough to part ways with your money for a pozzed game that's not as terrible as other pozzed trash? Need to convince others to share in your bad spending habits? Somehow they see it as some kind of loss that you play one of your other games, and probably one that's in your backlog, than mindlessly shill for [CURRENT PRODUCT].
Hades 2 is probably fine. If I played it, I would probably enjoy it. But I lose nothing by not playing it and not supporting the media narrative surrounding it regarding "muh representation", nor supporting the idea of pushing this historical/mythical revisionism. I lose nothing by spending that time on another game that I know I'll enjoy, either by replaying or going through my backlog. I lose nothing by not playing this game and spending time doing literally anything else either.
This could be the best game I play this year, and I'd still lose nothing by not playing it. And there are people out there who cannot comprehend that.
