Talk:Fifth Anniversary Update/@comment-27513654-20180902175125

All,

I have been playing A8 for 3 years straight and I'm pulling a Forrest Gump. I have stopped running and I'm walking home. Why? I'm not too happy about the new MP matchmaking but in the end that's just an excuse. I know I am addicted to this game and I've been thinking about quitting for a long time now. Now is a good time.

I don't know why I was so addicted to this game. It scares me a bit. Game designers really go for the jugular these days. Pushing those buttons, stimulate/manipulate you in the right way to keep coming back for more, day after day.

But anyway, I do want to say thanks to GL for coming out with an awesome game. I also want to say thanks to all of you out there. You may not know who I am but I probably know who you are. I was mostly a reader. You don't need to post much on these boards. All questions have already been answered (multiple times). You just have to read.

I will truly miss the analytical side of this game. There were so many details to pour thru. Such a brilliant design. People who don't play this game don't get it. The racing was secondary for me.

As I leave, I have one quick feedback for GL. Please think twice about requiring people to play "round the clock" events/TLEs/R&Ds on strict intervals of time. Not everyone can just stop what they are doing to play your game every 3 hours but you are forcing them too (so many will do it). People have lives out there. Imagine this was your son or daughter who is supposed to be studying for a test. Imagine when growing up this was your mom or dad who was supposed to be working or going to your school event. Think about the human side of what you are doing. This is a fun game that shouldn't negatively impact lives.

Later everyone. RIP my Audi R8SE 864. That tune was ridiculous.
