But you're not really losing people to talk to. You can join Discord or add them on steam or talk to them however you feel like. By chosing to do none of those things, they are losing you, not the other way around. It's not a blame you can put on other than yourself. We didn't leave, we just moved to another room, and we still come back here and post every now and again.
You can have all the personal reasons you desire, but if you chose to voice them then you have to be ready for someone to come and go 'err, I don't think that's right...'. No reason to get so defensive over it, what you wanna do and not do is entirely your choice to make. I'm just trying to tell you that I think your blame is misplaced.
