I was listening the 'matched' podcast where they were talking about The Beginner's Guide. It's meant to play as a an emotional ride to help people understand what the life of an artist can be. Definitely not for everyone, but it is supposed to be on the level of "this 'game', made me feel something about myself... Maybe even empathy for the maker too". Can definitely see how it feels like a waste, but maybe give it another play through and kinda ponder on things. It might make the purchase feel less wasteful :D
