For some, half the fun of games is roughing it with friends, not just dominating every time.

So when one gamer’s friend refused to ditch her overpowered profile and join her friends at square one, the group’s gaming plans soon hit a wall.

Keep reading for the full story.

AITA for not playing video games with my friends if one always gives herself end of game items instead of progressing along with us?

I know this is oddly specific, but I refuse to play Minecraft or Terraria with them because she won’t budge on the notion that she needs all netherite armor and OP weapons, or she wants to use her profile that has all the best items in the game.

This couldn’t be more different from this person’s preference,

I want to start the game from scratch with them and all suffer together, building up from scratch, but she can’t see the fun in that.

She says, “Oh, I won’t mess with you guys!” But she doesn’t understand the point.

We want to all be equal. It’s so annoying.

They find their friend’s behavior a total buzzkill.

I just won’t have fun if one person basically “wins” before the game even starts (for lack of a better word).

Not that it’s competitive. But it’s a similar vibe to cheating, except it’s lighthearted, and the motivation behind it is a desire for companionship.

AITA for being upset?

It looks like these friends’ definition of fun are worlds apart.

Reddit chimes in with their thoughts.

Maybe these people just aren’t meant to game together.

Maybe no one’s really at fault here.

This user also sees both sides of the situation.

Everyone is entitled to their own unique play style.

With fundamentally different play styles, these friends may never see eye-to-eye on this.

Maybe it’s time to just cut their losses or choose a new game to play.
