I've met countless people in this game from all countries and all walks of life. You could scroll down the multiplayer list and see people from literally almost every county in the world. I started playing this game back in 2018. I've played it semi consistently ever since, racking up a trophy lodge of not just animals, but memories. The 372-inch albino Roosevelt elk that I just about saw in the middle of a drive, the 611 reindeer I harvested that won me my first ever competition, the stories go on and on. This was the game I went to when I had amazing days at work, and the less than amazing ones. It was my comfort game, and I dreaded the day that they would shut the game down, but I was hoping we had just a few more years left. I genuinely cried when I heard they were shutting the game down. It was just so much different than everything on the market and was such a big part of my life growing up. So many people I've talked to about it are not only going to not be playing any other hunting games but quitting videogames entirely. Its a devastating blow to our corner of the gaming world.
