    There a particular reason for the “humanity is doomed” remark or just being dramatic? I looked it up expecting some sort of privacy nightmare or micro transaction hell but I really don’t see any mentions of that, hell reviews seem pretty positive.

      I’m having trouble finding the link this moment but I remember reading about a billionaire or ceo public figure who is addicted to this game saying that productivity around the world will crash once this game was released on mobile platforms.

      Edit: not some billionaire ceo. It was this link I was remembering:

      Not sure if that’s better or worse lmao

      I think it just implies that since it’s out on a platform that pretty much everyone has access to, global productivity will plummet due to everyone playing it and getting addicted
