It took many many years to get to the point the game got played out to the point people could feasibly streak 100 games in a row with random ships without pausing. People just got too good at exploiting game mechanics. People broke Issac long before they broke FTL and I never thought Isaac was a bad game. I think that FTL has largely been abandoned because it has been played out but it did take quite a few years to get there. Designing a game that is consistently hard without just regularly throwing you seeds that are impossible to win is difficult to impossible and at some point I think you need to move onto a new game.
