    I can respect that. I basically came to the same conclusion regarding most PvP games/modes.

    If I’m playing a game to have fun, and I’m not having fun, why am I still playing it?

    My online friend group never really saw it my way unfortunately, but it always amuses me when we hang out in voice chat and they’re getting biblical-levels of salty in a match while I’m just chilling and playing Spyro or something.

    That being said, it sounds like she’d effectively turned the game streaming into her job. That’d sap the fun out of anything eventually.

      I went through the same thing you did when I first quit Dota years ago. Lost contact with a whole group of people - several of which still play - but I just wasn’t having a great return on my investment in terms of fun/hour.

      It’s possible I’ll come to the same conclusion with Deadlock, though I’m still willing to try a bit since it’s very mechanically fun to play.

    Honestly, perfectly understandable that she would want to quit. Tons of content creators burn out after making the same type of thing day in and day out. Walking away when it’s not fun anymore is better than sticking with something that makes you miserable.

      Mods are a fun way to extend the lifespan of the game almost infinitely, but Bethesda is on the way to kill the experience with the Creation Club and other shenanigans.

        I’m aware that people think that, but for many people like myself, there is no possibility of mods making a game infinitely entertaining. At some point games in general got boring for me. I have to take breaks and find unique games to keep my interest as it stands.

          That’s exactly it, it depends on the person more than the game. No game would be expected to be infinitely replayable, but there absolutely are people that will infinitely play a single game.
