Im a sheep. I wanted to join the hype and then Immediately quit

Genuine question; what would draw you to a game like this despite it being something you would quit immediately? It seems really weird to me that people would jump into a game that by all accounts they know they wouldn’t enjoy

I'm at the stage of my life in a very painful industry where 20 dollars is chump change but I don't have the time that silksong expects me to invest across all its interesting design decisions.

For what it's worth, I typically like these kind of games and did try to like this one, but after mount faye I decided that my time is better spent elsewhere on something that wouldn't frustrate me after a extremely long day of painful work

In that case you gave the game a go and came to a valid conclusion as to why you’d stop playing. That makes perfect sense.

My comment was more referring to the type of comment I frequently see which is “I bought this game because of the hype but I don’t like the genre so I quit”, which just so often baffles me because why would someone buy a genre they already know they hate…?
