Why do players complain so much but continue to play?

People complain about working, yet still work.

People complain about taxes, yet still pay them

People complain about traffic, yet still drive in it.

People complain about sport teams, yet still watch them

So why cant people do that about games? O.o

Aside from the subset of ā€œtrolling for trolling sakeā€ and ā€œhating for hating sakeā€:

Addiction is real.

Unhealthy attachment is real.

Utilizing this game to give your life meaning is real.

Sunk-cost fallacy is real.

We all laugh and joke, and troll, and go onā€¦ but there is a real underlying set of people that cannot let go of the game, no matter how much they hate the game or themselves.

We all just collectively pretend we can quit anytime we want.
Most of us can, but manyā€¦ and I mean MANY, canā€™t.

Itā€™s a weird new-ish thing that people havenā€™t had to deal with before. There arenā€™t many 20-year long ā€œstill pushing new contentā€ games out there. And those that existā€¦ yeah they have those people that are plugged into the matrix canā€™t let go.

Sir, are you complaining about the complainers who complain?

Blizzard is holding their imaginary friends as hostage, so they have to keep playing!

addiction is real

Itā€™s just human nature.
