Oh, that's heartbreaking lol, I can't imagine the sorrow they must have felt!
If they don't take to it after trying to convince them again, maybe you could offer to stream it for them? I did that for a friend of mine who isn't great at games - we sat on the couch together, I played through, and we talked about things as they were happening (and I gave chunks of lore as they became appropriate to discuss). I like doing that for games I really want my friends to experience if they aren't interested in playing themselves, since you can kind of be a tour guide and make sure they get to see things that you might have missed your first time playing through, and you get to spend time hanging out with that friend. I've done similar with Undertale to great effect!
Unfortunately it's not really my cup of tea (I enjoy watching it too, but it's not one of those game I'd like to play if I have time to). I'll try with other games I enjoy more though
That's entirely fair, no game is really for everyone! You can definitely try this idea out with pretty much any game out there though, then you get to share the things you enjoy with the people you enjoy spending time with as well!
