That’s one of the reasons I lost almost all interest in games.

It already costs an arm and a leg to stay somewhat on top of the hardware requirements, I can’t justify to myself also investing hundreds of hours into essentially busy work.

I don’t enjoy fetching Fred’s uncle’s magic shovel of doom from a stupid generic dungeon 4h away.

Maybe I’m weird, but I use games more like interactive movies. I want a story, not some artificial and ultimately pointless “challenge”.
