True, and I do usually go for side projects instead of playing. There's a difference though, that I can't articulate, that makes Zachtronics games alluring, particularly when I get stuck on the side project and lose steam.

Sure to each its own, not everyone of us has fun the same way.

My side projects on github are a joke vs actual FOSS contributors, because I very seldom touch them for any meaningful time, given there is no pressure to finish anything.

Which goes back to what you mention as alluring.
