Kinda funny how these statements are always being made after a game has launched, and the content apparently doesn't suffice for the hardcore players.
I wish one day I'd hear a statement like that before the release of a live service game but weirdly enough before release all you hear is how many decades this game will be supported and how plentyful the content on the roadmap will be.
Something doesn't really add up in that communication.
It's not really a statement in that sense. I'd say it usually comes up post launch because someone is like "I've spent 200 hours already!" and im like "O_O, but what about sleep and food?" Its more a message from me to you guys n gals. It's a broader message about health as a gamer. My personal priority is your health before any game.
I don't want to tell you how to play a brand new game when it comes out since i know that exciting feeling as well, but I will say something when that gamer might be hurting themselves by playing 14 hours a day for months on end.
At the same time it's difficult too because is that really my place to say? It's a pretty gray area between hardcore gaming and gaming that's health damaging.
