Today's new games struggle because "evergreen" hits like Fortnite "pull players towards them at all times", says former BioWare GM (www.rockpapershotgun.com)

Tbh, I kinda agree. I have a tendency to go back to evergreen games because of their time limited content I don't want to miss out. Even if I find the actual game I'm playing objectively better. (eg bg3, totk, jedi survivor 2. Dropped them all after 10-20h and went back to farming shitty cod cameos and wow gear...)

I felt that way for the first season of Fallout76. I worked my ass off grinding away after work, and it felt like a 2nd full time job. I was so relieved when the season ended.

Then the second season dropped shortly after.. I started grinding for a few days, and then I just was so burned out and bitter that I stopped playing entirely.

I didn't want to just casually play when there were some later tier items I really wanted, especially for my camp. But I didn't want to grind for it either. So I bitterly said fuck you Bethesda and stopped playing FO76 entirely.

Fuck season bullshit that makes you grind like a full-time job. It's different when you unlock the content just by playing the game normally. A great example of that is DRG.
