you have clocked many hours, sure: in % how much is staring at the screen?
100%
Bit hard playing a game without looking at it no?
I know what you mean though.
As long as I have fun playing a game I will play it, when I was having fun I didn't mind jumping 10 or 100 times, I was having fun.
After so many hours though there just isn't anything to do that I hadn't done ten times before so ED became a chore, not fun, result, I quit.
Get to much of the same and eventually it becomes boring eventhough it was so much fun when you started.
Fdev realy needs to add more sensible things to do for me to pick it up again, and I don't mean cool stuff locked behind another grindwall.
New ships like in the last two updates are cool but if there's only the same things to do as you did with your old ships then I don't see the point in adding even more ships.
New toys isn't new gameplay, new things to do with your old toys and subsequently new ones is imho.
I so hope that Fdev won't introduce new grinds or rng heavily depended mechanics though, having to rinse and repeat to many times doesn't add to a game's greatness, it eventually makes it a boring chore, no matter how good it looks visually.
