    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.

      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 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.
