Or even better, making a new post to ask the same question again.

The old adage is relevant here:

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

I am a native speaker and spent a good 15 seconds trying to figure out why parents being locked in a barn meant neglect was happening.

I’m learning German, which wouldn’t have this issue. I’m sure other languages have ways to avoid such confusion.

Goddamn

So, is “immersive sim” just a vaguely plot-driven game in a setting with good world building?

Pointing to a franchise that has been incredibly stale and unimaginative for years now and using that to condemn video games as a whole is pretty misguided, I think.

My favorite example of the reverse in recent memory has been Wizards of the Coast essentially going back completely and then some on their unpopular OGL changes after a significant portion of their DnD Beyond members canceled their subscriptions.

I was right at the 10 year mark myself. I only use it now when a thread comes up in a search, I don’t ever go there just for the sake of it anymore.

Did you have an argument

That is a very good guess.
