Endless Gamer New Game Purchase Regret Cycle Meme
Text content
4-step cycle: 1. Buy a new game, 2. Don't play it for 6 months, 3. Finally try it, 4. It's trash
Overview
This is a single-panel black and white line art meme. At its center is a tired, wrinkled Wojak-style character with dark under-eye bags and a dejected unhappy expression. Surrounding the character is a four-step circular cycle illustrating a common relatable gamer experience: first, buy a new game; second, leave the game unplayed for 6 months; third, finally try playing the game; fourth, conclude the game is trash, which loops back to purchasing another new game, forming an endless cycle of unfulfilled game purchases and wasted money.
