  They managed to build the exact opposite of a team building exercise.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOYbR-Q_4Hs&amp;t=585">9:45</a> Guilt tripping other players with their real life health issues is exactly why you can&apos;t trust light blue.

  If a mobile game studio of all places shelves a game for being too psychologically manipulative, it must have been bad.

  I did not expect “a decade ago” to mean “after fruit ninja and Jetpack joyride”

  &quot;I betrayed them, because for me its just a game and I didnt think they would be hurt&quot; vs &quot;I betrayed Quinn and printed a t-shirt that says fuck quinn&quot;

  Reminds me of a story from my uncle. His bosses had given him the go-ahead for the winner of a game of Diplomacy to be given a paid day off of work. They were able to, however, immediately agree to declare a truce and all get a day off of work.

  This right here is why roleplay is actually larp&apos;s most important safety tool.<br><br>Your friend betraying you feels terrible, your friend&apos;s character betraying you is fun.<br><br>(It also allows a lot of out of character communication for safety and creates a barrier between people and the game)

  The game was like a monkey’s paw wish was granted.<br>They wanted a game that’s super popular that would be talked about outside it.<br>They got that, but their team got over invested and started harming themselves.

  I really feel like bringing up your health issues and putting guilt on someone because someone betrayed you in a game is the sh**ty thing to do

  The answer to this game is to make it a sit-down-and-finish game. You can get over a momentary betrayal, but not one that drags on for days or weeks.

  Went to halfbrick a couple years ago for game testing Fruit Ninja 2. They still had the room, and I could tell it had a dark aura.
