Ever rage quit a game, swear you're done with it forever... and then somehow find yourself playing it again the next night? 😂

Yeah. Us too.

This week on Co-op Chronicles, Blacklabel, PintsizedGeisha, and Azzilee are trying to figure out why gamers keep coming back to games they swear they hate.

Is it because our friends are still playing? Nostalgia for when the game used to be better? The hundreds of hours we've already invested? Competition? FOMO? Or are we just pissed off because we lost five matches in a row?

We get into toxic gaming relationships, the infamous "one more game," rage-playing, sunk cost, online negativity, chasing old gaming memories, and the moment when you finally have to ask yourself:

Am I actually having fun anymore?

And maybe that's the real question... do we actually hate these games, or do we care about them so much that they drive us absolutely insane?

🎮 What's the game YOU constantly complain about but somehow keep playing?

Let us know!
