No one is being forced to play at gunpoint. They can choose to quit and they will be removed from the project with the NDA still in effect. If they hate it so much and value their safety because they never once thought for themselves that they're using experimental technology until now, they can leave.

Yeah yeah, sure. I don't think anyone signed that contract thinking the agreed upon risk included potentially some sorta "you die in the game you die in real life" sorta science fiction scenario, Hien!

If it bothers them that much and they still haven't quit, then that's on them. That's not my problem.

Listen I know as the admin you have to cya but could you try having like a milligram of compassion for like five seconds, paly? Some of these people are kids, they're freaked out.

Then you can comfort them by lying about what I told you.

What the hell do you want me to say? I don't want them to get mad at me when it ends up not being true.

That is the point. If I have to be truthful to comfort them, there's nothing I can say. Tell them to stop playing. It's really all we can do. If they still don't want to, that's not our problem.

If you think that's the right course of action right now, why don't you make an official announcement? It'd mean more coming from you than me.

I can't.

[ Make of that what you will, Pete. ]

Like they're holding you at gunpoint can't or NDA can't because I can give you my private number if you want.

You can't get around NDA with a simple outside call, much less planning it on the very game's server.

So they're not holding you at gunpoint then? Coward.

Yeah, I'm a big coward only doing this to save my own skin.

I mean you are saying "I'm not going to lie to the players to make them feel better, you do it"

You don't have to either.

I know that, I just feel kinda bad for them not having any fucking idea what's going on? Like obviously I don't either but I'm also too old to agonize over it.
