    On the other hand: I have the money and free time to afford and play any games that I want. Nothing dark about that.

      I have kids, and I have the money but not time to play any game I want.

      Everyone takes a different path in life, make sure you’re working in the direction you want to go and are comfortable with the consequences of that choice. I am happy with my chosen lifestyle, but I’ve met plenty with a similar lifestyle and aren’t happy.

        I cheat my way through games, I may be losing some of the gameplay experience. But I like getting an hour to myself to play a game and not have to do repetitive in game tasks. Playing Roadcraft right now, and sure I could use the dump truck to drive back and forth to the sand pit 300 times or I could use a trainer, have unlimited sand and fill in anything that would prevent game progression. And increase the game speed so I can actually get things done in the small 60 minute timeframe I have. I envy those who can spend hours in the game getting absolutely nothing done.
