Is Optimizing Your Game Killing All the Fun?

Have you ever felt stressed while playing a game you usually enjoy? It’s a surprisingly common experience. What starts as a fun way to relax can sometimes feel like work, with constant goals, a focus on how well you’re doing, and the worry that you’re falling behind. One Reddit user perfectly described this feeling, joking that it feels like you’ll get “fired” if you’re not treating the game like a second job. When the need to play perfectly ruins the fun, that’s a sign things have gone too far.
