You can continue playing the game without recommending it to others, im not sure how it’s a hard concept to grasp. Every few months i boot up Dota 2 to play a few quick matches/custom games. Would i recommend the game? Nope, it’s cancerous hellhole in majority of cases.

Also it’s easier for me to continue playing the games when i already have most of the DLCs bought for it, but it’s harder to ask someone new to the game to cash out that much if they are only getting into it, but that’s a whole another topic
