To be clear, shoe help me a lot early on but I own my business. There is a point where shutting the doors is more practical. That's why, as users, would should want other users to enjoy the game. So I'm not sure if he doesn't know this, is fine just finding another game to play or saying "I'm not interested in internet games."
If you believe I don’t want others to enjoy the game, you’re buying benis’s turd sandwiches, and I think you’re too smart for that. I want others to enjoy *this* game. Not the game that used to be. Not the game the people who just can’t tolerate not getting everything they want every time want to play. That’s why I don’t give up on players in my conferences, like js, fd, OR, etc, or guys I used to compete against like mully. I know those are smart, competitive guys like me, and I fully believe they should - or at least can - enjoy this game as much as I do. Sometimes it takes just a couple small perception shifts to turn it around, like not treating the considering list as a hard and fast list of who the recruit prefers, but instead as a 3rd party account of where it looks like he’s leaning. Hell, that’s why I put up with benis&co dipshittery and keep engaging on the forums long past the point of rational caring, instead of ignoring it all and playing the game I want to play. I want people to enjoy this game.
All that said, at least many hundreds of people do. The D1 conferences I play in are all pretty full and competitive now. And I have some good rivalries in D2 keeping me interested there. I don’t think the sky is anywhere near falling.
