The loss of Our Lady of Infinites would have been the thing that made me stop playing the game, if I hadn’t already called it quits a few months ago. It got to the point where, even with infinite spells at my disposal, it became impossible to keep up with the Arena from week to week. Even winning every single match I played, I simply didn’t have the time to play that many times throughout the day any more. When a game becomes that much of a time commitment just to stay remotely competitive (and we’re talking placing anything above 13th to avoid getting demoted here), it stops being fun for me. The winner at that point is basically the player with the most free time. I enjoy playing AB casually, and I can play obsessively when other life commitments are at a minimum, but I don’t ever want to feel like I have to do that in order to avoid losing progress I’ve already made.
I might still pop in and play new campaign levels as they’re released, I guess, but my ongoing daily participation in the game is done. I had to turn off push notifications just so the game wouldn’t keep guilt tripping me about how I haven’t played the Arena and my birds miss me and so forth. I hate that games do that nowadays, but I guess that’s the new normal.
