Palworld's community manager says our 'dead game' fixation is ruining gaming: 'I don't think it really serves anyone to push gamers to play the same game, day in and day out' (www.pcgamer.com)

Yea, I've quit so many games almost because of the daily/weekly grind BS. I don't care how fun the game loop is if it's becoming a freaking job. Especially if I HAVE to do the BS to progress at the expected pace.

Fuck. That. I'm here for fun, not for a list of chores.

The sad thing is, many games wouldn't even need this bullshit. They're fun enough in their own core gameplay for me to come back to. They'd just have to accept that maybe I also want to do or play other things too. Good games with great replay value / new content are something I can easily come back to every now and then. But games that burn me out like this I'll likely never touch again - and potentially not even the developer's future titles since they'll likely follow the same (or even a worse) concept.
