Yes! It really was a second job! When it’s good, it’s REALLY good but it gets to the point where you’re playing because you feel you have to, not because you want to. You’re constantly grinding mindless crap so you’ll be ready for that next content drop that hits as hard as the last thing you actually enjoyed over a year ago (spoiler alert: it won’t).
I was lucky. I came to that realization at 1.1k hrs and it still took another 100 to quit. Afterwards, and I am dead serious about this, it took a bit more time before I could enjoy single player games I used to love again.
D2 is a pit that can and will suck you in. It’s digital crack.
