What's good duders?
I was thinking about this today with how fast I burn out on games on Game Pass.
When I don't pay full price for a game, my tolerance is almost zero. The slightest issue I have with a game and I almost completely drop it. I can't really explain it. I've just found that the more I play games nowadays, I don't really value their time if I didn't pay for it.
I think in part, some of it might be 'Well I paid 70 quid for this so I'm GOING to get my moneys worth out of it' (I hate that new games cost seventy quid in the UK right now), and it tends to be kind of a sunk cost fallacy. I tend to think that I've paid for a game, so if I don't get the full way through the game, I'm going to regret spending money on it.
On the other hand, things like Game Pass have ruined how I approach most games. I bought the Series S thinking that I'd play so many games on Game Pass, and dive into my Microsoft back catalogue, and really get my money's worth, but I don't think, in two years that I've even got twenty hours into probably forty plus games I've now tried on game pass.
Does anyone else have this issue? Where subscription services have ruined how you play games, cause when you don't pay for them, what's the point in grinding away?
