that summer it came out in 2016

God damnit, 2016 and 2019 all happened in the same year, I refuse to believe otherwise.

I would go out with friends to play it and you'd run into other groups of people doing the same thing and form larger groups and just walk around and talk. The game itself was pretty meh

Right, but then the "meh" of the game meant the crowds went away and there wasn't a bunch of goofy nerds around to talk to. It was just something you did silently on your phone in an elevator while your coworkers glared at you.
