Games that end

I’m not a serious gamer. I’ve never pretended to be one, and when something like GTA takes over the internet and every feed, even the Netflix home screen, fills up with trailer breakdowns and launch countdowns, I feel nothing. I don’t even want to buy it.

It wasn’t always like this. I used to play a lot of Destiny. If you’ve played a live-service game you know the shape of it: you finish a strike, but your bounty is sitting at 80%, the Weekly resets tomorrow, and matchmaking has already queued you for the next run. There is no point where the game says “you’re done for today.” I never stopped because I was finished. I stopped because I was tired, and I’d walk away feeling like I’d closed a laptop with twenty tabs still open.
