    Call me crazy, but I don’t want to play a game “with staying power”.

    I want to play games that are fun, I finish them, then move on.

    I don’t need a “forever game”. I don’t want seasons, season passes, dailies, battle passes, time limited, time gated content.

      Crazy. I want to play a game with staying power.

      I want the game that I look at and go “When did I get 1000 hours on the game?” Because I keep coming back to it.

      But this is where we agree. I want to play games that are fun.

      Seasons, dailies, battle passes, etc aren’t the things that I see as “staying power”, that’s microtransactions to a sunk cost fallacy.

      Staying power to me is like Terraria, where I go in, build a world. Run around. Then wander off to something else… to wander back and play more Terraria.

      With staying power I thought of games like Factorio.

      Bought it once, played it for thousands of hours. A decade later or so it gets an extension which basically quintuples the content, am playing it thousands of hours more.
