  • Endless franchise

    From Peter Steele@21:1/5 to All on Fri Dec 27 00:06:01 2024
    As of Christmas 2024, only 34% of Steam owners of Endless Space have
    played 10 turns. There goes $29.99. I was giving it another chance to
    no effect.

    I'd laugh at this statistic but I have games on Steam that I purchased
    and never even installed, let alone play them for 10 turns. So instead
    of laughing, maybe I should just sigh instead.

    There's too many "Endless" games. I have Dungeon of the Endless which
    wasn't for me, though I gave it a proper go at 30 hours.

    Of course, there is one game that is truly endless, Monopoly.

    and most of the rougelike games out there

    I dunno, as I remember most Monopoly games I played ended quite
    definitively with a lot of screaming and board flipping ;-)

    I never got into those board games! Video games were for me. Actually, I
    loved physical Uno card game! I still have my cards from the rad 80s. I
    even played Uno in IRC with https://github.com/ruby-rbot/rbot/ bot!
