Used to spend most of my days playing live service games that required a huge amount of time, or big AAA titles that are critically acclaimed. For example, Fallout 4/76, Battlefield 2042, rainbow six, World of Warcraft, RuneScape, Skyrim, Destiny 2, OverWatch.... Basically any really big game that you would find on the top 20 of steam or by player count, I would spend a huge amount of time playing that. But I got pretty bored of all these really big games having overplayed them so much, and now I have no idea what to play anymore...

So I'll spend a few hours playing something, and then jump to another game and then another game and none of them give me any Joy. For example, playing 3 hours of 7 Days to Die, 10 hours of No Man's Sky, 5 hours of stardew Valley, play fortnite with a friend for 2 hours, login to World of Warcraft and get bored Within a day or two. Tried going back to Battlefield 2042 because it saw a small uptick of players....

Honestly have no idea what to play anymore. So I just bounce around trying to look for something that'll bring me some joy and don't get much luck

Do you not realize you're doing the same content over and over and over again?

Figure it's the same as people who buy CoD and then buy the next one. Or Madden 2022 enjoyers buying Madden 2023.

Isn't FIFA one of highest yearly selling games?

that content being fun? where's the issue in that?

You'd think the game is fun but people on wow are so miserable. They're always upset, DOTA2 energy tbh kicking each other from groups and harassing each other, hating on their own game
