Devs should not be "forced to run on a treadmill until their mental or physical health breaks", says publisher of Manor Lords, citing how gamers seem to be trained to expect endless content work now (www.eurogamer.net)

This really does not sound healthy. The game is released, for a certain amount of money. If people don't like what they get for their money, they simply should not buy it.

But by now gamers have been so trained to expect to endless content treadmills and all their ilk like mtx and battle passes that publishers/developers get egged on if they don't work on their game 24/7 and forever.

I just started my first play through two weeks ago! I played F3 like crazy when it came out but never got around to Vegas

Vegas is still a fantastic game 14 years later. Not many games have that kind of holding power.

I hope you have a fantastic journey through it :D wish I could play it for the first time again.

Haha yeah, I feel the same way about many great games I've played over the years
