Same here. As much as work, reading, wife, outdoor sports, etc, don't allow me to have a lot of free time for "useless" things like videogames and specifically Factorio, I have a feeling that this one would pull me in and have me spend possibly hundreds of hours per year playing it, which I know I don't want and... well, shouldn't, given my self-appointed priorities in life.

I am particularly interested in strategic videogames, and loved playing these when I was a kid and a young adult (Master of Magic, Master of Orion 2, Civilization, etc).

Factorio seems to be particularly interesting and challenging at the same time.

The thing is, I consume video games that tells a story, fir relaxation and down time. I do this while my gf watches her Netflix shows. Mad shoutout to LA Noire, 10/10 game, bonus shoutout to Outer Wilds another 10/10.

But Factorio? It is going to consume me. I can tell just by what I have seen and read. I want to do deep thought on real problems not video game things. I could be massively wrong, but I tread lightly around that title.
