My apologies if any of my grammar or spelling isn’t that good, I’m not all that good at English. A now former friend of mine and I have been keeping contact with one another since we first met almost a year ago primarily though Steam games and Discord. Earlier today as of this post we got into an argument about two games that are often compared to one another and which one is better. Instead of agreeing to disagree like smart adults, I ended up checking his Steam page on how many hours he put into his version of the game "I" liked of the two (both of the games are free to purchase). It turns out he didn’t even make it to the 2nd Main Quest and had less than a weeks worth of playtime. However, in the reverse of "me" playing the game "he" enjoyed, I had over 700 Hours and made it to the end game and played several of their DLCs. The point I was trying to make to him at first was "Don’t judge a game based on the first interactions of it, especially if you haven’t made it that far into the game." but for some reason he was trying to argue that his 3000 hours in "his" game invalidated my point because he seemed to think "I" was the same in the reverse of "Haven’t played enough of the game". The argument is already over and we stopped communication with one another. Personally I don’t care what anyone thinks is right. "I" just want to know if I’m the Asshole or not here.
A very silly argument. There may be something very specific as to why a week was enough for him not to like it. ESH. I hope you guys are 12, if not, you need better conflict resolution skills.
Sounds like you were trying to use some kind of quantitative analysis to show that his feelings were wrong, which is AH behavior.
ESH.
>Instead of agreeing to disagree like smart adults
I don’t think y’all are adults here because y’all are arguing and no longer friends over games. If you don’t like this game and he doesn’t like that game, so be it
YTA. You’re being weird. WTF does it matter what game he prefers? If that’s something you’re willing to end a friendship over, then you’re a terrible friend. Grow up.

“Smart adults” would say it’s a video game, who tf cares. Not get into an actual argument over something so foolish and then come to Reddit to try and defend your point. You both need to grow tf up.
ESH
Is this for real?! You both need to get outside more.
ESH this is a ridiculous level of interaction for people who are allegedly adults. As for the “you should play X hours” I disagree. I don’t need to eat an entire roast pig to decide if I like or dislike pork. If a person dislikes the game after 10 hours – then they dislike the game.
This. Is. Dumb.
ESH – As a gamer you both are cringe AF. Just enjoy the games you like.
If you’re not willing to talk to someone over their opinion on a video game you guys were never friends.
YTA
What were you trying to actually achieve here? I’m having a hard time believing that you actually thought that checking his steam hours to undermine his opinion would lead him to change his mind about which game he preferred. Surely you only did that so that you could be “right” and win the argument?
Well, now you’ve thrown away a friendship, over nothing. Keep this strategy up and one day you’ll be the smartest, most correct one out of you and your zero friends.
