Just like saying you will re-read EVERY book you ever buy. This is pretty much common sense.But if you are saying that those RPGs do not exist at all, or even that they are extremely rare, I think there are a lot of counterexamples. I mean, I'm not an OSR person, but I ran an AD&D campaign a couple of years back and there are many people still playing D&D, AD&D, 3.5, 4.0 and PF1. Books from nearly 2 decades ago or longer.For me, Call of Cthulhu is perennially playable and is a solid "forever" game. Entire conventions play basically just that game and it sells out at big cons instantly. Savage Worlds is not my favorite system -- but I've run 3 campaigns using it over the last couple of decades. FATE I've only been running for a decade, but I'm pretty sure it's a forever game. And I'm running a Pendragon campaign right now, and literally the last RPG book I've referenced for a game (session #49 -- tonight!) is Savage Mountains, from 2025.My experience is the exact opposite of what your statement appears to say: Most games that are played are games that can be played forever, and are absurdly good value.And this doesn't even count niche games that I run every so often but not continuously -- games like My Life With Master, Fiasco, DramaSystem -- what you might call "sporadic forever games".I do have games that have not earned back their dollars in play time, but it's not honestly a lot. I generally try out new games at cons or online, so I don't end up with games I don't want to play very often. Maybe I'm vastly atypical, but I don't think so. YMMV!</blockquote>
