What video game have you played the most, that you think is garbage and no one else should ever play? (lemmy.world)

I have played Eve Online so many hours, and it's a bad game. Don't do it. you will spend hundreds of hours dreaming about the cool thing you'll do later, but for 99% of players the cool thing will never happen. You will be part of the one percent's cool thing.

Do you have a similar game?

Ugh, YES to any mobile game. I'll find a game on my phone, get sucked in, then after like 3 weeks be like... wait have I had ANY fun at all at this? And how many ads have I been shown? How much grinding would be required to finish this game? Then realize I should just uninstall...

And yeah Eve was crazy, cause I would rarely get the cool thing... but that made it worse. If I never got the cool thing, then it would have been easy to quit. But because I sometimes got a cool thing my brain would say "If you just played more then the ratio of time to cool thing would go up!"
