they are. they just put in a system that'll block people from watching videos if they detect an adblocker three times in 24 hours

man there's all these indie spiritual successors and yet no one's made an indie dark cloud yet. when's it gonna happen..... life sims where you build up a town don't count!!! (but are welcome, thanks Grow and Littlewood)

that's a neat game too, but i'm referring to Grow: Song of the Evertree

it's a life sim where you harvest materials from regions created on a giant tree, then head to the ground and use those materials to build up little towns around the island

Everyone knows that evertrees can sing. I've never seen an evertree that couldn't.

the great thing about games that tell you not to play them like that, is that you can just never buy them and that means you're super pro at them

I like the little town building minigame in Bravely Default where you close your 3DS then come back in a few hours and your villagers have built a shop you can buy stuff from.

one very bad example (imo) is Cyberpunkdreams https://store.steampowered.com/app/1361680/cyberpunkdreams/

it's a great turnbased lifesim game, and I bet it would actually sell loads, if it weren't for the energy system that prevents you from playing more than 20 minutes each day

Timers that tick down only when the game is actively running: Bad. Worse if they implement checks that you're actively playing and pause the timers if you go afk.
Timers that tick down only when the game is closed: Confusing and frustrating. Feels like you're being punished for playing your game.
Timers that tick down all the time including when the game is closed: Fine. Means you can set them going before you go to bed or something. Would prefer not to have to wait though.

I bought it up because of the mercenary missions in Xenoblade 2, which feel like busy work (especially since you have to manually assign blades with the right prerequisites), but they’re also tied to the growth of some special blades so it’s not really ignorable.

Yeah, a big part of the reason people care is that Square Enix has been kinda stingy about letting Nintendo use the original characters from the game.
