Wisely

I seem to have a differing opinion here but I love long games if it is actually full of good content.

I don’t play games with micro transactions and find a lot of open world games to be full of time wasters. If that’s all it is then sure cut that out.

But with games costing $70 I would feel like I wasted my money for only a 10+ hour experience like some comments are wanting. That can be done in a single day. Assassin Creed games really aren’t meant to be replayed either.

Games with lots of replayabilty are such good value and keep me entertained for hundreds or even thousands of hours. Games like Civilization, Persona 5, Zelda, Elder Scrolls, GTA, Metal Gear, old school Final Fantasy, Roller Coaster Tycoon, Xcom, Command and Conquer, Colonization, etc.

Maybe it’s more a sign of modern games being full of stuff that isn’t fun? Boring extremely limited NPC’s, lots of wandering with nothing to do but collect some useless thing. In that case I agree with all the other comments but instead of wishing for a shorter game I would wish for a better game that is fun to play for long periods of time.

Apollo is the only way I have ever used Reddit for all these years. If it’s dead it’s the same as if Reddit is dead to me. I don’t even know my login info and don’t have that email anymore.

It also encouraged dumb posts. I could post a long informative comment answering a question directly and get a couple upvotes.

Then if I posted something stupid like “never insult the mac and cheese” it got over 5,000 upvotes and awards.

Reddit themselves cut off the apps early. Probably to prevent users from protesting and complaining.

The developer of Apollo said Reddit cut them off unexpectedly but he was able to make it stop crashing by deleting his token. He can no longer access anything now but at least you can go into the app.

Reddit killed the third party apps early.

I keep thinking that I miss Reddit but really I just miss the Apollo app. The interface and filtering was great.

I was hoping he put something special in like a countdown with that last update. Or that you could still open it and see something. App is totally dead.

Update: Apparently Reddit killed all the third party apps themselves early. Probably knowing we would comment only to protest and complain.
