>I think the whole "its x years old" argument simply doesnt work, because things constantly get popular and un-popular again, not to mention the new generations of gamers who literally couldnt play the game when it came out.

There comes a point where if you were going to play or watch something, you would have done it by now.

Take star wars for example, episode 5 came out in 1980, 40 years ago. If you didn't know that Vader is Luke's father and take a lot of issue with it, why in your whole life until now haven't you watched a movie you supposedly had interest in?

If we had to tiptoe around spoilers constantly, we may as well just hide all of the text that these subreddits get.

Personally I've never been bothered by spoilers, they don't add or take away from the media. Lack of spoilers never add enjoyment, spoilers don't take away. If anything, spoilers help drive the anticipation and excitement.

You don’t need a separate account for games that would usually need a sign in for coop.

A lot of big games nowadays need two accounts that own the game for coop, it’s stupid considering if it’s on one machine it should just work like it always has

Ya I stayed off everything until I finished god of war ragnarok to avoid spoilers, but I was recently playing through the dead space games and I was watching some tip videos for dead space 3 so videos with spoilers came up in my recommended. Kinda annoying but what can ya do.

Honestly I don’t think anyone is in the right here, there are two very valid sides to this argument. OP is correct they shouldn’t have to avoid all social media to avoid spoilers or a game as this is then punishment for them having other commitments. On the other hand people have careers on YouTube and social media, they rely on views to generate an income. No unfortunately a catchy thumbnail draws in more viewers, I don’t think content creators are doing it on purpose to spoil games for other people. It really comes down to shitty algorithms.

I was playing chained echoes and was online talking to people about it and this made YouTube recommend videos of the game to me, including videos whos thumbnails and titles were spoilers. It really sucks but that’s the nature of the beast. The content I accidentally saw couldn’t have done anything different. What’s was it meant to do? Have an obscure name? Then people seeking that content wouldn’t be able to find it and both creator and viewer lose out. Should the thumbnail have not had a boss in it? Sure, then it wouldn’t have generated interest in the video and again same scenario.

Unfortunately for you the responsibility falls to both parties and it is far from ideal. However if one is slightly more so in the right I would say it I actually the content creator, provided it is their job then sorry but they literally have too to make money.

Dude, I wish I could get it. It comes out around my birthday, so honest to god, I'm going to pay part of the money for one of my friends to get it, and just play some of the game on their switch (or just pirate it, but I don't really pirate often).

I’ve played it a bit, tried out mage and rogue. I like the class diversity this time, the skill tree allows for multiple viable builds it feels, and the skills in general are pretty cool. I quite like the idea of it feeling more like an MMO in terms of running around and seeing other players and doing random world events together, where as with D3 it was just party up and that’s it.

But I’m still not 100% sure if I’ll buy it or not and have similar concerns as you with how immortal was handled
