This reminds me of a post I did
then in August of 2020 I cut the cord and quit before coming back late December 2020…
The end result:
- The game is meaningless, no actual progression – just busy work.
- There is no value for your money. It’s not even sunk cost. It’s just GONE.
- Real life is more important
- If you walk away, sure you will have spent-- but you will not spend any more
- Are they really friends in your alliance? And how many, really, count? (Me: I count 3-4 max, and my best friend from RL is in a different alliance!)
- If the game feels boring & like a chore… it is. Yes. It. Is.
- If it doesn’t make you happy… find something to replace it.
- Don’t get stuck “because it’s familiar”… when your mental health deteriorates.
- Don’t look to SG to restore your enthusiasm. There is nothing to be enthusiastic ABOUT.
I felt a great amount of freedom when I deleted and uninstalled the game.
I reinstalled it due to insomnia and boredom.
Helios will be the only alliance for me because of a select few, but I still question every day if it will be easier if I just leave the game, delete line.
I cringe at those who rage-quit and eat those stacked rosters… but that is what it might take to cut me off of the game so I never come back.
Bottom line? It’s not worth it, and don’t look for something that isn’t there. Play for your reasons and, when those reasons are no longer satisfied… quit.
