I was starting to write a sarcastic comment about the future of Xbox being just the customer paying for a game and then watching the computer play it for them, but yeah that could totally happen.

    This is like 3 degrees from every kid now who just watches streamers play a game instead of actually playing it.

    And yes, I get that some of this is due to them being lonely. Which is another societal issue. Its fucked up man.

    This already exists as idle games on phones. I can't imagine anything more lame.

    I think those games that are made to be boring and absurdly grindy and then offer you to pay to skip the boring parts are even worse. And they're not limited to phone, too.

    "Pay to not play", when we ensure our gameplay loop is so bad that you literally think your time spent in it has negative value.
