it wasn't to avoid the pain... it was just fun as a space game.... once i got used to it all, the effect was totally fine, and the genius of having the "simulated gravity" work even when it was spinning was fun to work through...
The "jumping out" was my personal version of an ending... something like "then they both flew out of a hole in the ship"... but seriously fun game (logged quite a bit into the game itself before i jumped ship)
