I understand that not everyone has the same attachment to this game, but I feel like if you willingly choose to not do the green route, you are one of many things.
It is in my interest that these characters get their happy ending whether they are real or not, and this is something that you can only do if you're playing the green route.
I agree with Selebus' stance on making near impossible reset puzzles, it assures that only those who are truly invested in the game, will go out of their way to bypass these checkpoints. What I don't agree with is the draconian measures and punishments delivered to people that want to seek help. 99% of you here watched a guide and so what? you are not any less in love with the game than those that haven't cheated.
My bepuzzlement comes from the fact that after so many years, there's people that would willingly not do green path. It comes from a place where I assume that you are fully aware of how things work in this game, after so many years it would be impossible at this point not to understand that you are sentencing all the people in this game to their doom if you don't follow the green path, and you're doing this because you're either weak, ignorant or heartless.
Because you were weak, you couldn't bring yourself to do stomachache, or you were ignorant not to know that it would be best to see it in the long run, or, you are fully aware of what will happen and still sentence this world to collapse regardless.
It's not your fault if you can't remember every detail or forget things, it's not your fault if you don't know how to do something, it's not your fault if you're not perfect. It is however, a fault in you if you can't be bothered to try.
