There is nothing that company can do to convince me to play a game where the entire point is to not play the game. I understand that you need the money (because making a living, contrary to popular belief, is really fucking hard), but I really wish you didn't market their lies and bullshit. A game where you don't play the game is never going to be enjoyable (and we already know that there will be no challenge because the game is designed to play itself, so all strategy is non-existent).
