I'm going to leave this subreddit and make sure it never appears on my feed again
I'm so done with the constant fighting in here.
Every time a new life sim gets announced, updated, delayed, released, or even mentioned, it feels like the war horn sounds and everyone rushes into the comments to argue about it.
What genuinely confuses me is why it's so difficult to let people enjoy things without immediately turning the conversation into "here's why it's actually bad" , or why everyone who doesn't enjoy something needs to be treated like a villain when none of us are the heroes.
You don't have to like every game. You don't have to agree with every opinion. You don't have to buy every release. But somewhere along the way, a lot of people here seem to have forgotten that disagreement doesn't require hostility or disrespect.
I've seen people attack players, attack developers, attack entire communities, and then act surprised, or act like they're not part of the problem, when discussions regularly become toxic.
Life sims (or any game, for that matter) are supposed to be fun. Following them shouldn't feel exhausting. I joined this subreddit to keep up with different life sims, but I'd rather do my own research than sift through the constant negativity and arguments. I genuinely hope the people who still enjoy this subreddit can make it a little more welcoming than it currently feels.
Because at this rate, we might as well rename it r/lifesimarguments.
P.S. Feel free to let loose in the comments. I'm sure some of you won't be able to help yourselves, but I'm out. 🫡
