For those of us who loved STW, that game was more than just a game. It was a place where I could be myself—genuinely, safely. STW was one-of-a-kind. I don’t know if others can relate exactly, but when I played it, I didn’t feel stressed. And if I was stressed, I could go into the game and cut my character, build things, or just explore. It was a way to breathe. I felt safe.
And Sam, you took that away.
I understand that you were going through something hard, feeling depressed, and maybe overwhelmed. I get it. But did you stop to ask how the game made us feel? Did you even consider that you could’ve just left it up—even broken—as a still, quiet world for us to return to?
You made a choice that impacted more than just you. You took down a place that, for some of us, was a lifeline when our real lives weren’t. That hurts.
I’m saying this not out of hate, but because I cared. I still do. #STW #AudioGames #Blind #Oneofakind #SurviveTheWild #SafeSpace
