    HYPOTHETICAL only: Would you refuse to spoil Bioshock Infinite for my own good? Would anyone be comfortable spoiling it to potential player?

        @avantgame There's no problem with asking for spoilers, though Twitter seems like a bad way to do it given the potential for splash damage

        @avantgame I think everyone should know the ending of that particular game because it's such nonsense plot-over-everything it deserves it.

        @avantgame if someone says they want to know a spoiler, I challenge it only once, then I spill. Always.

        @avantgame If someone WANTS the spoiler, then yes, definitely. I can take pleasure from a book/movie/game even if I know the ending or twist

        @avantgame knowing the Titanic sinks, the allies won WWII, what "rosebud" is, doesn't diminish the series of events leading to them...

        @avantgame Yes: 1) It's your choice, 2) Plot spoilers don't have context, 3) Better spoiled and played than never played at all.

        @avantgame Maybe it serves as some sort of advanced organizer for them? Maybe lots of reasons. Bottom line: spoiling isn't unethical.

        @avantgame I recently read an article: certain people thrive on spoilers - causes them to enjoy the content more when they engage with it.

        @avantgame I wouldn't spoil the while thing, just up until it its twist with the who the player and the antagonist are.

        @avantgame not refuse, but dance around it a bit. If drop a few key facts that would give a general idea of outcome, like cliffs notes.

        @avantgame if pressed though I would spoil. No ethical reason not too. I’d only try and hold back to give person a few unknowns to enjoy.

        @avantgame So "refusing" to tell spoilers when asked is self-righteous bullshit.

        @avantgame I can't stand terrible people as characters, so I had to know certain ones would get their comeuppance eventually.

        @avantgame I asked friends for Game of Thrones spoilers after the first two episodes.They refused so I told them I wouldn't watch otherwise.
