@1 You said it.
@2 I’ve never heard anyone say it’s the greatest game ever. It’s just a nice way to waste time.

@4, No, I hate how successful it is. It’s a decent time waster but making plush toys, slippers & curtains out of it is ridiculous… Expect tv shows & movies for it in the near future. Also, who the hell are you to judge me you hypocrite, you often insult people for their tastes, seriously kid, grow up.
