For anyone actually curious

This is a review of ARK (the survival game that launched in 2015, was all over the place)

The reviewer is VOR, who used the game and other players as a coping mechanism while dealing with chrohns dieases and his life was falling apart

Here is the news article from the period.

He may or may not still play or even be alive, but this SS was from years ago and the current playtime is over 35,000 hours

The review was negative mostly because of how the studio chose to treat it's players near and after it's immediate 1.0 launch

As easy as it is to judge someone for playing the game so much..since this pops up every so often please PLEASE take into consideration the health issues this person was (and potentially still is) facing and the reasons why his playtime cranked up so fast compared to what any average gamer is likely to ever achieve in any game
