      You can make a proper spoiler message this way:

      ::: spoiler Some text here, whatever. Click here.
      The actual spoiler content here
      It won’t be visible until you click the spoiler thing open.
      :::

      And this is what it will look like:

      Some text here, whatever. Click here.

      The actual spoiler content here
      It won’t be visible until you click the spoiler thing open.

      Could you be so kind and edit your message, making the spoiler look that way?

        The good news is, this isn’t much of a spoiler. The game shows this part coming from miles away. You learn about the disease probably like 3/4ths through the game. It’s part of the ending, but it isn’t what makes the story good.

        Me too. I have a wife and kids, and a 50 hour a week job. Been plugging away sporadically for a year. It’s not the spoiler that bothers me, it’s the “it’s a blah blah year old game why haven’t you finished it yet etc etc”

          I’ve played it, but yeah, 7 years isn’t that long. If it were like 20 then yeah, people probably have already played it or weren’t going to —though still, there will be some new people, either younger people or curious people, so not an excuse to spoil it. 7 is still recent enough that people are still going to be new to the game.

          I thought it was some kind of game mechanic or something else that they didn’t understand. I didn’t think it would be this spoiled. 🤷‍♂️

              I haven’t really been super interested in watching the HP films, but my children might eventually be and maybe I’ll watch the movies with them some day in the future? For this reason, I’ve taken care at least to not know who kills him. This came kind of out of the blue here.

              But now I know. Thanks?

                The game came out in 2018, I think a reasonable amount of time has passed to not have to worry about spoiling things. I guess I could’ve just said that rather than make a rude/sarcastic comment, sorry about that

                  I usually buy my computers used when they are dirt cheap. That means, I typically come about 10 years after everyone else regarding new games. It works just fine, except for some unfriendly people who like to spread spoilers. Also, especially with Bethesda’s games, by the 10-year-mark, typically already over 70 % of the game’s bugs have been fixed, which is nice!

                  (My current computer is kind of a powerhouse, though! It can run both Skyrim and Fallout 3/NV with full graphic settings. Of course not the remastered editions, but it’s still awesome getting to play those with my own computer now! Fallout:NV I did play almost completely through on a computer that I was able to regularly use elsewhere)

                  No worries.

                  I kind of disagree though. There’s always someone who isn’t in the loop and being cautious shouldn’t take much effort. Meh. Maybe I’m overly empathic.

                    I fully agree. Like I am currently watching one piece for the first time, and the amount of people that are like “bro it’s been known for years you should have found out by now” is unreal. Like no shit its been out for years, that doesn’t mean I watched it release day.

        Can’t believe how many people are defending this obvious misuse of the spoiler tag lmao

            I love the hive mind coming out of the wood work to downvote comments just because someone else has. I’ve noticed that often here. It was especially bad on Reddit. They see a zero or a negative one and have to put their unreasoned stamp on it too.

            I bought the game a couple months ago and have put maybe 6 hrs into it so far so yeah, having someone spoil a part of the plot just because the game has been out for a while is fucking shitty.

      Thanks for the massive up votes, as well. Been plugging away on my free time. One of the most story-driven games of the decade. Thanks guys. I knew he died at the end, but not the cause.
