I have asked the 'what do we get when we press the I Win button?' question dozens of times to the same couple of users over the last year or so.
To date, not one of them has responded to my question.
well I hope my answer is satisfactory. If asking for gameplay to be fun, entertaining, and interesting is asking for a "win button" then yes, I'd like to win an entertaining experience every time I play and every button in the game should be a win button.
Would you expect me to eat an awful meal at a restaurant? Would you expect me to sit thought an bad movie? Would you expect me to wear clothes that don't fit? Just because someone provides a bad product doesn't mean I have to accept it and "move on". In this case I care enough about the product that I'm asking the producer of the product to improve it rather than just walking away and forgetting about it.
As I said, if you want to "feel the vastness of space" you can still slow down and waste hours in SC if you want to. Allowing me to NOT do that doesn't affect your gameplay in any way. You can still do it.
It's like those people always whining about "people don't pay enough taxes!". But how many of them wrote a check and sent it to the IRS along with a note explaining that they feel they didn't pay enough taxes so they're sending some more money?
Really, these people aren't concerned with THEIR experience. They're obsessed with controlling YOUR experience.
They're not happy 'till YOU'RE not happy
