Games Want You to Play Forever, But Dispatch Tells You When to Stop

Games Want You to Play Forever, But Dispatch Tells You When to Stop https://ift.tt/PaZV3px Is there a more infamous monkey-paw wish than the collective dream that all our favorite games could last forever? Well, the finger curled, because it seems like all major game publishers in the world only want to make games that go on to infinity. With the rise of live-service games, it's been a struggle to know when to put the controller down, especially when games like Fortnite release seasonal content like The Simpsons season pass that ask you to play long enough to unlock stupid sexy Flanders. Luckily, for us, episodic games, perfectly portioned into bite-sized morsels, have come back to rescue us from the endless grind.

Some dataminers have even said this plainly, while others haven't been too confident or willing to make such a public declaration.

This is because of the internal naming convention Epic Games uses when referring to Fortnite maps--they're all named after Greek gods. The first map was Athena, Chapter 2's was Apollo, and the current map is nicknamed Artemis. Asteria, like these other names, is also the name of a Greek god--it even similarly starts with 'A' which seems to be important to Epic, so it's fairly certain by now that Artemis is a new Fortnite map, even if it doesn't explain why players think it's launching this year.
