It's completely unnecessary as well. We are absolutely spoiled for choice when it comes to video games, I pick up more for free than I have time to play, and with services like gamepass, offers like humble bundle, and the ever-present steam sales, there's no reason to ever have to fork out big money for a game you feel you need to play a hundred hours in just to feel you've got your money's worth. If you don't like it after a few hours then just move on to one of the myriad games in your backlog and you'll soon forget the boring one.
