Which is to say, I completed the game long ago, but knowing about the Agro scene in advance would have really changed my perception of the game. I cried so much when it happened, because it was so _unexpected_. I love your secret really, I think that game is magnificent.

BUT WHY DID YOU SPOIL THAT? dude!

I know. DX at least she didn't spoil what happens after...

That's like the only scene in the game that can be spoiled, and it's a very powerful one. Unfortunately, I was spoiled for it too, so it didn't impact me as much as I knew it would have. x_x

Good work, anon. If you'd read my second comment, you might have had a better idea of what my point was. Either you didn't read it or else I wasn't explict enough in my statement, so I'll specify this again. Not that I expect you to read this, since you won't get a notification and all.

I think everyone here is aware that spoilers are often featured in the comments. I don't mind this, I'm not so foolish as to pitch a fit about the rules. What I was commenting on was why did the secret maker see fit to spoil that when the secret could have quite easily stood without it. Spoiling for the sake of spoiling?

But much more to the point though, the secret makers primary goal seemed to be selling the games worth, and trying to attract more fans. A broad statement about the ending or whatnot is one thing, you can mention that without people saying 'hey, why would I play this game now that you've told me that?' But as someone else pointed out, the scenes with Agro are just about the only scenes in the game that can be spoiled, as to say 'I wish more people would appreciate the beauty of this game' in the same breath as 'boy was I said when Agro died' really seems to defy this goal.

And that was the nature of my "complaint". Sorry I wasn't clear the first time? Really, I understand what you're saying, and I agree with you. Complaining about spoilers on this community would be pointless as a whole. It was the spoiler in the context of this secret that threw me off, you follow?
