Huh. Turns out I use most of my games as toys, not games. I rarely finish games, usually getting a lot of stuff done, high leveled, etc, then just enjoying it until I decide ro start over. I also regularly go back to games like Ark, 7 days, City Skylines, Civ VI(but often strip out ein conditions so I can keep playing), FFXIV, etc.
Sure I make short term goals that I complete, but usually not done everything and complete story to win unless doing so gives me something else to do, like New Game+.
A game has a set of goals, and you can quit it without dying.
If there’s no set of goals, it’s not a game, it’s a toy.
If you can’t quit it without dying, it’s not a game, it’s real life.
(Does real life have a set of goals? Depends who you ask.)
Technically the goal is for your DNA to spread itself. Everything else is just made up by humans.
That’s its goal, not mine!
