I recently cancelled my subscriptions to World of Warcraft<\/i> and Star Wars: The Old Republic<\/i>. I was never much of a hardcore MMORPG player, but I did enjoy the exploration and story-based elements of these games. It was a pleasant way to while away a weekend afternoon. Over time, though, playing these games felt more like tedium than entertainment. Weeks or months could go by between log-ins. I eventually realized that it didn\u2019t make sense to pay a monthly fee for games I play only sporadically.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not as if I have a shortage of other games to occupy me. But I\u2019m more inclined to play games that can be picked up and put down easily, like FTL<\/a><\/i> and Dungeons of Dreadmor<\/a><\/i>. I seem to be getting more impatient in my old age.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I recently cancelled my subscriptions to World of Warcraft and Star Wars: The Old Republic.
