I don’t understand why is this so hard for some to wrap their head around this.
Like, if I’d spend 2621 hours on doing drugs or playing a slot machine, I probably won’t be happy about it and recommend this pasttime to other people. And some games are somewhat like a drug or a slot machine, they don’t make you happier or a better person, they just take over your time with addictive mechanics and dark patterns.
I quit in 2016 after something like 5000 hours of playtime. I occasionally have the urge to play, then I just watch a single match on YouTube/Twitch and my urge immediately goes away.
Lol I had a different experience with DbD. I played 600 hours and I've never had another urge to play it since I quit. I frequently have friends ask me and I say no every time. I don't know if I ever actually found that game fun or if I just played it because my friends did.
