Your life IS pretty darn awesome, ain't it?
You have a choice.
You've always had that choice.
You determine what you do, and what you choose not to do.
If the game was never repaired, how would that affect you?
Would your real life be forever ruined?
There are some things that can impact your life forever: the death of a parent, a spouse, a child, or a dear friend; the loss of your finances; a divorce; or a very serious illness; etc...
Does this situation stand on the same level of importance with any of the above examples?
Life goes on, with or without this game, isn't your life pretty darn awesome?
