Joyce interviewed some young people. Here are their opinions.

Harold: I don't quite understand why they are so mad about the childish game. Maybe they are just not confident enough to face the real world.

Allan: I enjoy putting some "bugs" in my friends' gardens and we've become closer because of the game. Having fun together is the most exciting thing about it.

Laura: You know, people in the city are longing for（渴望） the life in the countryside. It reduces my work pressure (压力); besides, it gives me the exciting experience of being a "thief".
