This is not intended as rage bait.

Already in my Amiga time in the beginning of the 90's I was mostly interested in programming in AmigaBASIC and uning utility programs to paint, making music, etc., while all my friends ever did with their Amigas was playing games.

And now I sometimes really wish to be able to sit down with a game and relax playing it for a couple of hours. And I found Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 which hooked me for some time in multiplayer. But nobody is playing it anymore so the servers are empty. Also because I play so seldom I'm just dying all the time and can't really emerge into the game if I find a server with people on it.

Sometimes I buy a game because it looks so cool and the idea behind it is so awesome. Like for example Grand Theft Auto on the PlayStation, which is such a big open world. Or just a month ago I bought Cyberpunk 2077 because I have the hardware for it (graphics card which I'm normally use for AI) and Steam made it a bit cheaper.

But then I start the game and walk around not really knowing what to do, I try to follow the tutorials which are so boring, and then I just give up and close the game.

And this happens with all kind of games, browser games, AAA games, indie games, doesn't matter the genre.
