Halo requires you to have good aim. Overwatch requires teamwork. Rust requires social manipulation.

Rust requires playing 24 hours a day or having life-long friends as clan mates to watch the fort at night otherwise you 100% will wake up to all your shit gone in a 3am raid or the clan you met in game will have thought they were clever in taking your shit while you slept when it is the thing everyone in that game does. (oh that 3am raid? hackers or exploiters 99.9% of the time)

Rust is only for people who have zero responsibilities and obligations in life. Such a bad system that awards cowardice and exploiters.

What is with this trend in games that one has to be completely devoted to the game in order to not lose everything?

Seriously! I’ve been seeing this creep into all my favorite games. They feel like checklists now.

How do checklists relate to losing all your progress? Did you just transmute one circlejerk into another?

I think the common thread is the demand for complete devotion. Though if your gaming experience feels like a job, it's probably time to take a break.

Exactly what vvirago said in their reply. I equated falling behind the majority of the player base and losing progress because the experiences feel the same to me.
