      ? Why come up with a hypothetical outcome just to make yourself mad? Is there some trend of speedrunners ruining educational games I am missing?

        Its a joke, relax. Almost all games get speed run, no reason to expect this to be different. And any% speed runs often skip huge portions of the story, no reason to expect this to be any different either. There is nothing to be mad at, it’ll likely happen, it’ll likely be silly/funny to watch.

          The :/ face doesn’t help it seem like a joke. It reads like you’re genuinely upset about people misunderstanding art.

            Text is a bad medium for conveying emotion.

            To me, :/ has always been a fairly neutral expression, like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ or 😐, I would have used :( to convey upset, but its certainly reasonable that others would read it differently.

            I kinda hoped my other comments would have made it clearer, but again, text is a bad medium :( oh well

      You can’t really make a point about reality by making a game. A game is a list of rules. You can adjust these rules however you like to see which players perform closest to what you think is the best way to play, and you can also sit and watch as all of those rules are cheesed because there’s no external factors to consider.

      The game is gonna prop up whatever the developers think is right and be completely meaningless in the grand scheme of things.

      Games should aim to be fun. I’m gonna get back to helldivers to deliver some managed democracy to alien scum!
