Video Game Completionism (part 1)


Do you complete all the games that you buy? If not, have you ever thought about what that means about you, and about the game itself? Perhaps you remember a time when you were younger and ravenously played a game over and over until you had not only solved it, but unlocked every possible route and detail available, fully experiencing everything the developers had programmed. But if that's not you anymore today, what changed? Is it just you that's changed, or is there more to it? And honestly, why should you care, it's just a game for your entertainment, why does it matter? This week, I'm going to examine these questions from the perspective of both a gamer and a game developer. The industry is adjusting and changing, and these questions are playing a role in the future of one of our favorite forms of entertainment.
