The analogy makes a lot of sense to me. Once you have an “easy button”, it’s hard to not use it. It’s sort of like when you’re at work and see the “quick workaround” effectively become the standard process.
I remember burning out on games because the cheats made them really fun in the short term, but afterward playing normally felt like agony.
I tried playing Riven which is the sequel to Myst. Couldn’t figure out what I was doing. So I just went back to playing Sim City.
I seem to recall enjoying Riven, but I suspect I never actually finished it and just gave up at some point.
Riven came out nearly 30 years ago so I think I can be forgiven for not remembering too well 👴
