I have played Eve Online so many hours, and it’s a bad game. Don’t do it. you will spend hundreds of hours dreaming about the cool thing you’ll do later, but for 99% of players the cool thing will never happen. You will be part of the one percent’s cool thing.

Do you have a similar game?

    I really don’t understand this honestly. Why would you play a game you think is garbage?

      It’s sunk cost fallacy, skinner box loops and more. It starts out fun, somewhat enjoyable. Then eventually it turns into a slog, and grind and you lose sight of why you even find it fun to begin with.

      By then you’d be hundreds or thousands of hours in, and you end up commenting about your crappy experience here, I guess.

      Stockholm syndrome, sunk cost fallacy. You start a game because you think it might be fun, then after a while you realise you’ve played quite a lot and are still yet to have fun. Now you’re in a habit of playing either still hoping it gets good soon, or fooling yourself that you are enjoying it.

      This is my experience with FFXIV.

      To try shying away interested parties from falling victim to the same sunken cost fallacies we’re abiding to. I have 900 hours in a different space game and still don’t feel competent. I love it. I tell everyone it’s not great.

      I still play pubg. It’s a total dogshit game and the only players clinging to it are the crazy competative try-hards. BUT I’ve got my 3 buddies that I play with and its a great time because of that. I would never recommend it to anyone playing alone tho
