This is like any game ever. There is always a percentage of players who don't seem to play the games they buy regardless of how new the game is.
Every millennial who got a good, high-paying job only to have no time to spend on the games they can now afford to buy on a whim.
Oh. All the unplayed shit I've bought. Steam seasonal sales are especially bad.
Granted that some of those are just early access titles that I wanted to support.
I just keep telling myself that when I retire I'll be glad for all the random games I bought.
I tell myself there is plenty of time to play the games i bought and then i remember they're all on a single platform and i have to pray they don't shut it down on a whim or some billionaire buys it and runs it into the ground.
What are the odds Steam is still operational amd i have access to the games I've bought in 30-40 years?
It's even worse because of Gamepass, a lot of people probably installed to see what the hype was about but bounced off.
I would be one, although I did make it to space and landed on a planet.
I would’ve been one, but I read the reviews and realized it would not be a game I would be interested in and never downloaded on game pass. Cities Skylines II is what I’m looking forward to.
Nice to see a fellow cities enthusiast out there. The true spiritual successor to SimCity imo. Excited also for Cities II.
Game pass makes it easy to throw games away if you don't like them in 5 minutes, and starfield has the worst intro to any Bethesda game I've played, from morrowind and forward.
Not every game is going to be enjoyable for everyone, more people need to understand this.
I would guess also a lot of XBOX players download the game on gamepass, and then never open it - since the there isn't any achievement unlocked prior to the one you get for reaching space, I wonder if there is any other way to tell.
Yeah, a better metric would be how many hit level 5 but did not visit New Atlantis or something.
