3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

So that's why almost nobody finish their games, according to Steam achievements?

Yeah, i know, I also don't care about them but they are funny little statistical facts, like "only 20% of the people that played this game beated the tutorial" or "45% of the players didn't play past the first chapter".

That’s the case for me. The last game I’ve “completed” was a game where I can play through multiple different scenarios (Surviving Mars.) I have completed about half the mystery scenarios, and I love being able to replay it and have it be new all over again.
