You.

Yes, you.

The one with the plaid shirt and the homeless person’s beard. The one screaming, "Did ya try the new multiplayer mode?" and "Are ya'll playin' the PvP encounter?" and other lies I dare not mention out of your studio.

Tread lightly.

You are one. We are hundreds, thousands. Millions. You aren't just IN the minority; you ARE the minority.

I don't feel awkward or anxious playing No Man’s Sky around others, and your words don't affect me. Many others, however, are coming out of their shells for the first time in their lives. This is the first time many are enjoying the beautiful universe - and it IS beautiful. Incredibly so. DON'T ruin this for them. We gamers may have our differences, but we will not hesitate to come to the aid of our fellow space cadets, especially against someone who so virulently lies about that was supposed us all together via the glory of multiplayer.

Don't take this the wrong way. I don't hate you. I don't fear you.

I pity you.

I'm sorry that you feel this way towards us. I'm sorry that multiplayer is such a bane to your existence. And I'm sorry that you are missing out on such a wonderful experience. Mostly, though, I'm sorry that you feel the need to go around and publicly lie and berate others. I'm sorry that, to ensure your own validity, you need to make others feel like there would be a chance to end their infinite loneliness by offering them a 0.000001% to see another player. I'm sorry that your self-worth is so infinitesimally miniscule that you have to make others feel less-than-human, at least in your own denatured mind, just to feel honest. I am truly sorry that day-in and day-out you have to put up with your worthless, meaningless, Shakespearean tragedy of a life that will not be shared with anyone since you don’t appreciate multiplayer.

I ask you politely to cease your unnecessary lies for attention, and instead invite you to join our ranks. Step out of your studio, stretch your legs, and breathe in the musk and the aroma of other players, and then, maybe, just maybe, you'll see what you've been so hopelessly searching for this whole time.
