Time is the biggest cost of gaming.

Yes. I get it that people also want to try and play various games. I think that 'eventually' everyone has their go-to game, just like everyone has their 'go-to' takeout/takeaway. I want pizza or burger. I will try a different joint, but it will be one or the other. The same for gaming. Defender of the Crown, AoE II, Fortnite. I stopped buying games a long time ago. I am sure that there are many great games.. but... I like pizza, I like burger. You can tempt me with sushi once per quarter, but DotC, AoE, FN.. and that's that. I got 'no time' to learn/master a new game. Or rather I got time, but I will not 'invest' it to start another open-world game that will require 5 years!
This it’s true, and must weighed carefully.

I prefer casual games because of this.
