I am on this site when I play games, so the time spent is equal. I used to be like that, but after a certain point of anticipating games constantly and then not caring that much about them (at least not nearly to the degree you expect to), you just stop buying them and start playing old ones.
What? An intelligent, optimistic article from Kotaku?! This is probably the best piece ever published on the site, which as recently become a cluttered Nintendo-bashing zone.
Also, I spend way more time on sites like this than actually playing games. They just seem to have gotten... less interesting?
I like my video game collection and all of my games. I find enjoyment in all of my games even if they are panned by critics. When I see the internet start hating a game I enjoy so much I turn it off and go back to playing games.
