Someone needs to call Susan Sarandon to film a charity spot for all the poor lonely Kotaku reporters. For just 20 minutes a day you can change this journalist’s life by agreeing to play The Division with him. Yes, it may irreparably harm your win/loss ratio, but it’s for a good cause.
Because someone has to do something. Yesterday Kotaku’s Editor-in-Chief Stephen Totilo used his public forum to plead, “Fellow Division Players, Please Stop Kicking Me From Your Group.”
The Division is a game most people stopped playing months ago, where the endgame is essentially to endlessly grind for gear with online groups in a post apocalyptic Manhattan.
“We went on a mission. We all died. I was ready to try again. Nope! Kicked from group,” Totilo said.
Totilo thinks that other players didn’t think his gear was good enough, although it’s also possible they just knew he was affiliated with Kotaku. Both are perfectly reasonable grounds for the boot.
But the real question I have with the article is why the hell is he not playing Overwatch? Why isn’t everyone playing Overwatch? Why am I at work right now and not playing Overwatch?
Anyone who thinks The Division is a game worthy of stealing precious time from Overwatch does not deserve a seat at the table in this post-Overwatch world. Overwatch is the only guiding light in this dark, cruel reality. Why not join us, Stephen Totilo? Give up the sins of your gaming past and enter the all-consuming cult of the giant space monkey.
