All video games have a shelf life. The experience gets stale, the hype dies down and people move on to something else.

  With something else being another game. People don't switch interactive entertainment for non-interactive one.

    Are there studies showing that? Switching seems perfectly natural. If a good game comes out I'll play that. If a good TV show comes out I'll watch that. And since my free time is limited, if I pick one it means I'm not doing the other.

      Same for me; though I prefer to play an old game than watch new TV quite often.

      The TV show end, multiplayer games don't.

  My 12yo has grown out of Minecraft, but 6yo shows signs of growing interest. This week, she discovered redstone and pressure plates and went automating every door she can find in old builds she normally doesn't care much. Minecraft will have endless supply of users in the future, and when they're done with it, there will always be a next step waiting. That's why Netflix will always have trouble figthing with those.

  CSGO: see a few people in every match (so perhaps 10%) that have the 10year badge. Some games have lasting replayability.
