I really appreciate that the staff is paid to make this game and, in a way, to play it. But the rest of us have lives and this game should be an outlet, not a source of stress, with events that become obstacles to playing the game in a lighthearted way.
This really stirs the gambling nerve: on one hand, the goals are nearly unachievable, but on the other hand, there's a slim chance to get there. And Fear Of Missing Out is something we've been conditioned into since the rise of social media. And it's not a good thing at all.
Please, please, think of people's well-being! This game has appealed to a lot of marginalized people who already are likely to have higher stress levels than average. I was really hoping that the game mechanics would also reflect respect, not just for diverse identities, but also for the real people who hold these identities. So far this hasn't been my experience of the game :(
