I considered moving the whole gaming discussion from derail to its own thread.

No worries, it is fine. I added a trigger warning to your thread for the gaming addicts. If you seriously want one of us to move stuff over, just let me or one of the other moderators know. Thanks!

The marketing strategy is really shit,
Yea keeps up the hype for a bit and i get the chip shortage during the pandemic didnât help with a lot of industries but game consoles have been doing this for years I remember not being able to get a Wii forever,
But it makes no sense, if I can manufacture a in demand product now and get it to the shelves especially around the holiday season, I can make bank. Once they sit on the shelves they already cycled, i got paid for the units whether they sit with the retailer for a year or a day, cash in while you can, all your doing is making resellers quick bucks or potential buyers may visit your competitor for the same product,
I think they prefer the shelves being empty and sprinkling the sales over many quarters/years for investors but what do I know about any of that shit lol

If you dont wanna quit and are happy as you are, thatâs fine then, good for you.

If you donât think itâs a problem in your life, donât quit. True addicts find that the things they are doing are ruining their lives. If thatâs not the case for you, then you donât seem to be an addict, or youâre in denial. One of those.

Why is your sober date such a huge secret?
Why are you defensive/angry in your reply? This is a sobriety forum full of very vulnerable people, so members questioning a new member who keeps promising the world to other new members if they private message is bound to raise an eyebrow or twoâŚ

I flagged your post for use of the word troll and for the personal nature at which you were addressing another user. We are all respectful on this site and i found that reply disrespectful.

But it was perfectly ok with you, that user also was outright domineering âlook at you 10 months sober with all the answersâ. Thatâs ok with you. Might I ask what you would call that? May I ask, how are we honestly helping others here? Like really. Providing temporary comfort and a solution are not the same thing. And are there any statistics or links to show itâs helping? I provided that. I donât think I need to say much else.
Sorry that youâre missing out. I earnestly Pray you find what I have been delivered someday. I really mean it.
Iâm not angry, I am passionate about this stuff. I do not yell and defend and criticize
But I will fearlessly carry the message because I am responsible for what someone did for me.
I donât care what your opinions of me online is. I care that newcomers get a chance to live and be free.
And my work hereâs done. I wish you all Love and Purity.

Had the same thought.
Also didnât love the âDM me if you want me to help you get soberâ. Seemed a bit messaiah-y. Why not offer help publically as we all do. So we can all take whatâs needed and leave the rest.

Attraction not promotion is our code. Youâre doing a poor job at both. I get it though, I was super gung-go when I was new in sobriety too. I probably acted very similar to you. As I progressed I learned what that statement meant. I learned a lot from the people on this forum as Iâm sure you could too, provided you are actually willing to listen.
