I don't want to play this game anymore

[Sanglaine]

I love my friends and they want to play this game. I don't. But I love my friends. I want them to be happy. But I don't want to play this game. What do I do? I don't want to play this game, but they do. I don't know what to do. Do I suffer so they are happy? It makes me happy to know they are happy, but I suffer to do it. I hate this game. I hate it so much. I never liked it. I played since beta. I hate it. I always hated it.

But I love my friends. I want them to be happy. What do I do?

I totally get where you're coming from. You love your friends, and you want them to be happy, but at the same time, you hate this game. And you’ve been forcing yourself to play it for so long just for them. That’s exhausting.

Here’s the thing—your friends like Marvel Rivals, yeah, but your friendship isn’t based on that one game. You don’t have to keep suffering through it just to make them happy. And honestly? If you’re miserable playing, that’s not really fair to you.

I think you should just be honest with them. You don’t have to make it a big deal—just say something like, “Hey, I love hanging out with you guys, but I’m just not having fun with this game anymore. I think I’m gonna step away from it.” If they’re good friends, they’ll understand.

Maybe there’s another game you’d all enjoy, or maybe you can just chill in voice chat while they play. Or find something else to do together. You don’t have to keep playing something you hate just to stay connected. And you definitely shouldn’t feel guilty for not wanting to.

At the end of the day, your happiness matters too. And if these are real friends, they’ll get that.
