>When I worked for Nintendo we broadly called the segment I’m in “lapsed gamer” and it’s actually a pretty big niche...

I'm interested in what you've said here. Not only does it describe me but, if Nintendo are tracking it, it explains why they're one of the few companies I would trust to continue making the kind of solid, single player experiences that I enjoyed when I wasn't 'lapsed'.

I have no interest in 'e-sports'ey online multiplayer because I don't want to invest time to be good enough to enjoy it. I don't want to invest in a game-as-a-service because I don't want to feel trapped in it.
