when you were growing up there was this amazing amusement park you used to go to all the time when you were a kid. the owners were local and awesome always accommodated everything and made sure the customer came first. You never had a bad experience there. Lines moved fast and money was worth something.

You beg your parents for a lifetime pass, and begrudgingly they get it for you! You spent your childhood building amazing memories and value your lifetime pass more than anything.

Then, more years pass, adulthood finally comes and life is busy you don't have time for amusement parks anymore. more time passes and the desire to return just melts away into nostalgia. but someday, maybe after you have kids of your own you decide to return to the fated amusement park of your dreams.

You talk it up to your family the whole ride over, really building excitement. Then, as you pull up you see this giant banner casting a looming, dreadful shadow on the ground "Under New Management." You can feel the pit in your stomach aching at this turn of events. You know it cant be good.

Now where lines moved fast and money was worth something its the exact opposite. To enter the park you basically have to submit to a cavity search with a not so gentle giant. Old lifetime members can only appreciate certain attractions and there are new rides looming on the horizon you have to pay individually for. This is just not a good experience.

All you can do is just wonder why the old owners would do such a thing and sell out to a heartless corporation, condemning all of their patrons for life. You feel like complaining, you feel like you want a refund for your lifetime membership, but you know a heartless corporation will never grant that to you.

All you can do is appreciate the time you had with the park when it was great, and value the nostalgia and memories. And you can always warn other people to not waste their money on their own lifetime membership to the cavity search and then pay more money for no reason park. Sad days.

Of course if you dont mind dragging yourself through torture to reach the golden Introversion experience that has to still be there somewhere the game itself is worth playing. But seeing what paradox did (and will do) to it I cant recommend it anymore.
