13 years ago, I began a journey that I often wondered if I would ever finish. Along the way, I played a lot of games and began to notice that whether or not a game ends is actually a huge factor in my gaming preference. Today on Psych of Play, we’ll talk about that journey I took and how it is oddly intertwined with a need we all have to some degree, a need for closure.
