It’s like playing Dungeons & Dragons.
Your first time, you spend WAY longer than you think you should, just to create a character. Then, after burning an hour or so on that, your character is eaten by, I dunno, a Gelatinous Cube in the first five minutes.
You don’t have to spend another hour making another character, though… so you play the next game, and the next.
… So, if you had to re-outfit your boat and re-learn how to wet-exit every time you kayaked, you wouldn’t do it. But after you got that boat fitted out right, well, why NOT fall out of it a couple more times?
