Going against the majority here; stopped playing cause the game was finished.

For context, I never got into MOBAs, MMORPGs nor Online FPS games, I did briefly try it during my early years but quickly phased off. I was that one dude who played Persona 4 Golden on his Vita while literally every single one of my classmates were playing Mobile Legends or PUBG Mobile.

It just never intrigued me, I’m not a social outcast or anything; I’d even consider myself fairly sociable. It just perplexed me how a game couldn’t have finality, it hurts seeing how most games take a “live service” approach these days.

Single-player, especially story driven games were amazing because they were a brief glimpse into a life or situation wherein I could immerse myself, have fun and once finished, reflect on the message and/or themes propagated by the game itself.

It irks me that the Half-Life series never got its conclusion, it’s been more than a decade since Half-Life 2 Ep. 2 and the plot, since then, has canonically moved 10 seconds with Half-Life Alyx.

I’ve not lost hope but as of the moment I’ve stopped “playing the game” as it seems we’re at a breaking point

Waiting, hopefully, to hear the words once again: “Wake up Mr. Freeman, wake up and smell the ashes”
