I can understand that, and I have had games that I have had to quit, games that I sunk real money into, because they became more like chores than fun, as well as games that I found still fun, but just no longer agreed with the direction they were going (one minor example is a game I was playing changed their graphics. They went from a relatively normal graphics to putting all the female characters in chain mail bikinis, and made the male characters look horrible. I had liked it because it had avoided that trope until then, but I still liked the game itself, and hated to quit it)
So, yeah, I can understand not *wanting* to quit, especially with the sunk cost fallacy, but some of these people seem to derive no joy out of the game whatsoever, and I guess, for me, even sunk cost can't make me want to keep playing a game I no longer enjoy.
