This is like any game ever. There is always a percentage of players who don't seem to play the games they buy regardless of how new the game is.

Every millennial who got a good, high-paying job only to have no time to spend on the games they can now afford to buy on a whim.

Oh. All the unplayed shit I've bought. Steam seasonal sales are especially bad.

Granted that some of those are just early access titles that I wanted to support.

I just keep telling myself that when I retire I'll be glad for all the random games I bought.

I tell myself there is plenty of time to play the games i bought and then i remember they're all on a single platform and i have to pray they don't shut it down on a whim or some billionaire buys it and runs it into the ground.

What are the odds Steam is still operational amd i have access to the games I've bought in 30-40 years?

It's even worse because of Gamepass, a lot of people probably installed to see what the hype was about but bounced off.

I would’ve been one, but I read the reviews and realized it would not be a game I would be interested in and never downloaded on game pass. Cities Skylines II is what I’m looking forward to.

Nice to see a fellow cities enthusiast out there. The true spiritual successor to SimCity imo. Excited also for Cities II.

I would be one, although I did make it to space and landed on a planet.

Not every game is going to be enjoyable for everyone, more people need to understand this.

I would guess also a lot of XBOX players download the game on gamepass, and then never open it - since the there isn't any achievement unlocked prior to the one you get for reaching space, I wonder if there is any other way to tell.

Yeah, a better metric would be how many hit level 5 but did not visit New Atlantis or something.
