I suppose it depends (Destiny)

by Earendil, Wednesday, June 24, 2015, 21:36 (3676 days ago) @ Cody Miller

I play a few games that aren't video games. Some are athletic sports, some are card games, others are bored games. For the most part, the rules, fields, setup, and equipment are always the same. I enjoy playing these sorts of games with friends. Sometimes we learn a new card game, but it's not required to have fun with friends.

That said, I get bored with solitaire real fast. I would assume there are different requirements for "newness" when playing by yourself vs with others. Also, we sometimes walk away from a particular card game to give it a break, and one day someone wants to play so we all jump back in.

I don't know why video games can't be the same way, but I'll admit that I have a hard time treating them the same.
