I can see where he’s coming from, but if you’re not actually a video game writer, you owe it to yourself not go too overboard with that sort of thinking. I dunno, slap yourself sane or something. Screw it, you can’t play every game, even the ones you’re interested in.
It is pretty overwhelming that 2-3 new AAA game come out every month and each one represents 20 hours at least to finish and 50-100 hours to master. It’s a commitment, especially if your free time is limited. And that’s without talking about the 20 indie games that come out each and every day on Steam.
