Yes gain of the space is necessary here.

Not to be rude, but there isn't even a wiki page on her so why should she put into the game?

Because somebody saw 'First Man' recently.

They have worlds, which have cemeteries and memorials.
Just be thankful you're not in a position to be requesting one.

No. This has to stop. Is anyone telling me that the Armstrong family would be so relieved and emotionally gratified by someone asking for some object to be named after their loved one in a video game?

It's the same as people putting flowers on a landmark for someone they don't know, because someone was murdered in their street/village/town. Lights/Camera/Action: Let's see how much you care... And then the lego tears start pouring. The crocodile smiles because he's got a day off.

I wonder if the movie First Man prompted the OP?

blunt, rational, won't make you any friends but spot on. [big grin]

otoh, frivolous as this showcasing of feelings may seem to me, who am i to say how others should deal with it? and it doesn't any harm either.

The thing is, that a lot of people project 'caring' publically. Expressing the loss of someone that you personally know, in the hope that you can share their memory, whilst
dealing with emotional turmoil, is entirely different to grieving on someone else's behalf in the shape of asking a video game's developer's to add a memorial to someone that you had absolutely no relationship with.

FD: Can we have a Terry Wogan moon? What about a Spike Milligan Star Port? Surely there's room for Enid Blyton? What about Matt Busby?: Ah, no! I'm a Pompey fan; I can't allow that... Perhaps we should have a shrine dedicated to the death of Doctor Who...
