I’m curious if this is a common thing. For me there are many such games. I hardly play games at all anymore, and when I do it’s mostly singleplayer indie titles. Yet for some reason I can’t stop myself from engaging with a lot of games I used to play.
CS:GO for example. I haven’t played it for years and have no real intention of coming back, yet I still find myself watching youtube videos, following the patch notes and engaging in online discussions. And it’s far from the only example for me.
Any weirdos out there that do the same?
Yup.
The competitive games ive played extensively at some point, dota and csgo mostly. path of exile isnt competitive but that too.
And the games/franchises/studios that ive really enjoyed and ocasionally go back to/keep up with news/possible sequels or dlc/etc.
Fallout, God of War, Elden Ring/FromSoft in general tbh, Slay the Spire, anything from Supergiant, etc.
