Punish players for reducing their screen time. Fucking brilliant.

So realistic. I also forget protagonist’s abilities if I take too long a break. I forget the story, too

I need a game that gives me a summary of past notable story events and a quick “get back to speed” mini tutorial when I don’t play it for a long time, not this.

Welp, fuck that. I already don’t like permadeath, why add decaying game progress? Fucking waste my damn time…

Obviously not great if it’s punitive, but if it introduces new creative gameplay or story branching, it could be cool.

This is a feature of Escape From Tarkov. Your trainable skills decrease to a minimum if you don’t use them, even if you’re playing regularly. I tend to like effort-based progression more than point spend, so this is a sound idea depending on how it’s implemented.

Western gamers and especially americans are just devestated when a game doesn’t preserve their progress forever, Once Human being the prime example in recent years. People couldn’t see past level-playing-field reset periods and decided it was theft, so by the time they added permanent scenarios (which are basically like every ARK pve no wipe server: unplayably bad) the damage was done.

This feels like a Peter Molydeux tweet

Good way to get a new Game Genie invented
