NintyRaccoonThen I guess these games suit your style of gameplay more than mine. Until I was introduced to Mobius Final Fantasy a few days ago, I haven't played a single game during long sessions for a long time. The reason is simply lack of time. Because of that, I tend to play games which I know I can return to sometime in the future.Mobius Final Fantasy has become a game which I'll try to return to more often, not just because of the FF7 Remake-event. Otherwise I have little time for games. I only play some emulated games on my phone during my travels, but that's not the same experience.Like you, I used to play a game when it interested me. But with this way of thinking, I tended to buy several games which I later never finished. But I knew that I could always return to them in the future: Just take a Game Boy cartridge or a PS2 disc, put them in their respective systems and start playing. Now that I mentioned it, I never finished Final Fantasy VII... I didn't even get far in the game.You're right about hacks and cheating. I can agree that competitive games such as Pokémon Duel must be an online experience only. But I was also talking about games which have a single player experience. Games like Gameloft's My Little Pony, Iron Man 3, Spider-Man Unlimited or SEGA's Sonic Dash and its sequel. Their strength, despite the microtransactions, is the possibility to be played offline. Should the developers pull the plug to those games, it's possible to download them from another website and start playing them again.As for life spans and lack of interest... If we return to my example about Marvel Avengers Alliance: Disney/Playdom released the game for several platforms - on Playdom's website, on Facebook and on iOS and Android. The game was eventually pulled from Playdom and the mobile platforms, leaving the game to be alive on Facebook. While the game has many fans, the game was still shut down, leading to a huge uproar among them. This is especially since many of the fans have invested lots of money on the game. Of course, these consumers couldn't do anything about it.And City of Heroes... That's even a better example. It's considered to be the best superhero MMORPG in existence with lots of fans. There are even happy stories about CoH-players who became couples and later married each other IRL. When NCSoft decided to pull the plug, efforts (petitions, fundraisers) were made to persuade NCSoft not to do so. Some even tried to buy the IP. But all for naught.in Ariel :
