    I can respect that. I basically came to the same conclusion regarding most PvP games/modes.

    If I’m playing a game to have fun, and I’m not having fun, why am I still playing it?

    My online friend group never really saw it my way unfortunately, but it always amuses me when we hang out in voice chat and they’re getting biblical-levels of salty in a match while I’m just chilling and playing Spyro or something.

    That being said, it sounds like she’d effectively turned the game streaming into her job. That’d sap the fun out of anything eventually.

    Honestly, perfectly understandable that she would want to quit. Tons of content creators burn out after making the same type of thing day in and day out. Walking away when it’s not fun anymore is better than sticking with something that makes you miserable.

      There are some games that can approach that level of entertainment. Something like Minecraft may entertain some for tens of thousands of hours because of its sandbox nature, and Crusader Kings games can also eat years of one’s life because of how different each game/story can be.

      But a game with a pre-written story and an immutable world has a fairly short shelf-life for most people.
