I'm getting flashbacks to the awful luddite boomer propaganda Spielberg crowbarred into the end of "Ready Player One" where he made the online virtual world closed on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

That was from the book

wow _really_? Sorry, I had no idea someone could be capable of writing a book about virtual worlds and then imagine shutting them down two days a week. My apologies Mr Spielberg.

it’s a story about how all of society takes place inside of a video game and at no point in the story does it ever contemplate whether or not that is a good thing. The story is just “save the princess from the dragon” but the princess is the oasis.
