Unless you need a primer on how to discern literal statements from “functionally true” ones, which I honestly think is very unlikely, you should really try to be a little more generous in your interpretation of other people‘s words. They’re just saying their partner is going to be very excited about a certain game and want to play it, so there will be a bit of pressure to accommodate it and these problems are not enough to warrant making their partner unhappy. There are a lot of places for instance that I boycott, but if I’m with a group of people and they want to go there, I’m not necessarily going to make a big stink about it.
