    Videogames. Most of them assume an unreasonable amount of time to enjoy a fraction of the content, AND they are expensive as hell… I’m defaulting to stuff that is fun from the start or short indie titles

      Same, a lot of new games are just voluntary jobs with no pay. Grinding, item collecting, time killing bait framed as “challenging” or " doesn’t hold your hand" .

      Games should be fun.

      When you have small children, “short games” are the only games. I was very hyped for the FFVII rebirth, but it’s padded to hell and back. I haven’t touched it i 6 months

      something i miss with a lot of AAA titles is finishing the game.

      its a happy/sad moment when you complete a game - you have that sadness that its all over, but the joy of completion. completing a full story, seeing character growth, and being able to put the game down for good (or at least for a long time).

      i dont want to play my games for an infinite amount of time with no end and infinite amounts of DLC… i want to finish my games. i enjoy the emotions i get from it.

        I really like well told stories in games. And a good story needs an ending. I don’t just want lore thrown in there and backstory. I want a full features story.
