If you have spend 700+ hours on this game, as some people in the comments say they have, then this is defiantly not an non-significant issue compared to something "current issue" that takes place on the other side of the planet and will be replaced with a new "current issue" next month or tomorrow.

Spending 700+ hours on a game makes me even more sadder, but that could be just me.

Is it better to have watched 400 movies on Netflix?

Or to have truly mastered a certain domain, and likely involvement with a tight knit group of people.

Other people spend hundreds of hours on visiting completely static places (stuffed with other observers), eating food there and some unremarkable social/physical activity. Nobody says “it’s so sad you traveled to <popularlocation>”.
