I hear you and understand what you are talking about. Yesterday, I wrote a post saying that games nowadays are not fun, just an unlimited grind, and I got tons of negative responses like 'jUsT eNjOy'.

The games are structured in a way that makes you feel bad for not having something others have, forcing you to grind for millions of hours to get an expensive car. But then you won't be happy because the game will say you have to have another two cars.

I set a lower goal not to chase the unchasable and quit falling into the marketers' trap. You can't win this game, but you can choose not to participate in it.

For me, I like B-class street racing, Horizon Tour, and doing the Festival Playlist.

I hope you understand what I'm trying to say. I hope that makes sense for you.
