I will never understand this feature of consumer gamer culture
Why does every game have to be a Forever Game with content patches or new DLCs or whatever
What's so awful about a game you buy, play to conclusion, and then maybe replay or mod if you feel like it
Why must every game on the market be potentially The Last Game You'll Ever Need To Play, or it's not worth buying

@kaliranya Because they've spent 15 bucks on the game and want it to be forever game, like, you know, That One Voxel Game That Was Designed To Be Infinite(tm).

Measuring games by their playtime a.k.a. "WELL HOLLOW KNIGHT IS 40 HOURS LONG AND IT'S ONLY 20 BUCKS, WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOUR GAME IS 20 BUCKS, BUT ONLY 8 HOURS LONG?????" is a plague of gaming culture.

@0x0961h That latter has infected me some, I confess 😭 Short games priced above $10 or so tend to sit on my wish list a long time.

But, that's as much a feature of my being constantly broke, as of memetic material absorbed from consumer gamer culture...
