"people who have put hundreds of hours into the game are finding that, for a variety of reasons, they're losing the motivation to play." Taken from the article. No shit. Hundreds of hours is a long freaking time to play a video game. The Last of Us is considered one of the best video games of all time, if not the best by some. It takes what, 25-30 hours to complete? And it has basically no replay value. If you put hundreds of hours into this game, and are finding yourself burning out, I say no shit. Consider it money well spent, and move on to a new game. Pick it up later if you want to or not, no one really cares.
