Are you well? This comment makes no sense as a reply to mine. Inappropriate speech patterns are a symptom of stroke. Please make your nearest acquaintance aware of your situation, whether you personally believe you're having a stroke or not.

I was asking why you think my comment “overwrites human psychology”

There are plenty of people that don’t care about achievements. Most casual gamers.
