Think it's more a case of, it looks bad to a rl partner to see some lame ass fake relationship on here. And really, why should people miss out for not wanting a relationship with their phone which is what a pimd relationship is. I know people will jump on me for saying it but video chatting each other and talking on the phone doesn't make it rl. Just my opinion
Excuse me? I met my last girlfriend on pimd; I'm sure countless people have too. What gives you the right to decide if it is "real" or not?
My opinion. To me it becomes real once you've met, until then it ain't real life it's an online thing
Having an online relationship doesn't make it any less real because hello, LDRs are a thing and some people just can't meet each other face to face at that point in their lives. Also, your point is? Reject the relationship feature on the basis that it's "not a real relationship"? Why the hell would you even care, this is a game - what next, rebel against the fight button because it isn't a real fight?
Casper is right, as sad as it is, pimd relationships are a infinite small portion of what a real life relationship is... I mean just the eye contact, a simple little thing in RL right ? Here you don't have it. Voice, smell, touch, etc... I mean, what do you do? Just talk, talk, and talk. For what ? Prove your love to someone else hiding behind a avatar ? Fact, Talk is cheap. I think it's more sad than "entertaining" ... It shows how deeply alone some people feel here, and I feel compassion for them, it's hard to be alone, but it's better to stay alone than having to crawl down into a fake-relationship to stimulate a dust of happiness, ending into a flood of sorrow, knowing it's going nowhere...
Bro. Poetic, but as said: this is a game. You can hardly expect a happy ever after on pimd of all places. And if they get a small bit of happiness from it, who are you to judge? Either way it won't affect people who use the feature only for the bonus and people who are in actual real life relationships. Whether pimd relationships are 'real' or not literally has no impact on your gameplay, so why care?
I know as I said a bit of happiness to get a mass of sadness after because it always ends with a break up that hurts both the persons... I don't think it's a good idea to push people into it... You know it's like putting free cigarettes in a bar... Tempt people into the easiest way to feel better without thinking in textures of the upcoming storm
Damn son that's some angst poetry all right except 1) it still doesn't affect those who use it for fun or are already in rl rls 2) by that logic, no one should ever start a relationship because all relationships end badly, no? Except they don't.
No "relationships" out of a game ends badly and are somehow pointless... And yes it does affect people who are in RL relationships or people not interested. We don't want a big "Single" or "In Couple" on our profile, thirsty people are more and more going to spam/stalk others with a "single" shown... It was already annoying without this button, and now it's going to be even worse...
I love how so many threads were made about how they didn't want the relationship button, and then PIMD is like "for a bigger and better pimd" "we are keeping the relationship button". Good job logic. @ATA Can we please have a vote? You install the feature, we have it a week, then you make a forum thread asking for votes. If at the end of 48 hours, the "supports" win, you keep it. If at the end of the 48 hours the "no supports" win, you delete it. That's fair right?
Yes that is a great idea, at least let's see what it's all about and decide wether we can play without noticing it or can't.
I REALLY DONT GET WHERE DID PIMD GET THIS IDEA. SERIOUSLY, DID ANYONE MAKE A THREAD ABOUT HAVING A RELATIONSHIP BUTTON? ? SERIOUSLY, ATA. EVER LISTENED TO THE COMMUNITY?I THINK NOT. I DONT CAP RAGE. ITS CALLED EMPHASIS. LOL TOO MANY THREADS WERE MADE, NONE OF THOSE GOT EVER REPLIED. KEEP ON DISSAPOINTING YOUR LOYAL PLAYERS. LOL WHAT IS BIGGER FOR YOU? THE MONEY YOU SUCK ON PLAYERS, I'D SAY. LOL
