Fair enough. IMHO this one is worth making an exception for, but I don't really have a good way to convince you of that. In hindsight it's insane that Telltale never just turned Episode 1 of the first season into a free demo.
I lost my (full-sized) Swiss Army Knife, a gift from my uncle, to a TSA bin shortly after 9/11. Intellectually I know it was foolish of me not to adjust more quickly from "knives are useful and a bit nerdy" culture to "nobody would need to carry a blade unless they're premeditating an attack" culture, but if I'd realized the former culture would eventually become unfathomable I think I would have resisted adjusting even longer.
I recall some of my elders' generation reporting similar feelings, after the statement "my classmate brought a gun to school" no longer primarily implied "I want to go hunting after class too!" Like, even if this is a change that needs to be made for safety's sake, there's definitely something being lost along the way.
