If you one day find yourself staring down the tragedy of finishing everything of interest in your new favorite game, just remember this sterling advice from the (mostly) solo developer of city builder hit Manor Lords: "Enjoy other games for a while."
Too many games, and too many gamers, set themselves up for failure or disappointment by pursuing endless, repetitive fun over finite, memorable experiences, so it's been encouraging to see more developers openly push back against the "dead game" rhetoric – the ridiculous idea that a game with a conclusion is a game with a problem. Manor Lords dev Slavic Magic reckons the solution to this imagined problem is a simple one: play something else.
