      It has nothing to do with attention span. If I wanna read a novel I’ll sit down and do so, if I sit down to play a game i want to play a game. Your argument would be like Christopher Nolan releasing a film with no pictures, just words on screen you read, I’d be mad and others would say it’s a masterpiece. But it has nothing to do with me liking to read or not. If you think about it DE is a video game equivalent to a Nolan movie, some will say it’s a masterpiece, others like me will say it’s pretentious, boring crap

      I have the same issue with those telltale games where you just click a choice and watch a giant cutscene.

      I love reading, but I couldnt get into Disco Elysium besides many attempts, so I disagree with your statement that I love it because I love reading.

      Maybe I don’t like starting a book over and over again because the dice made me do it.

      Three bad rolls in the first 30 minutes and you get a heart attack and have to start over.
