Story centric games should have low-story varients for those who still want to play?
This one made me laugh, thanks. That said, we do have entire comedy genres making fun of “Unskippable” cut scenes.
A skip button feels like a basic courtesy, but what I really want is a pause button. Life happens, and I can’t count the number of games that I’ve just stopped playing because the only option when my dog was throwing up was to skip the cutscene.
VCRs were invented a long time ago. I find it wild that game developers haven’t figured out how welcome pause, rewind, restart, and skip ahead would be. I’m not dropping quarters into most games to play, anymore.

I agree with pause. Though I wouldn’t use it I also don’t do a lot of things in the game to increase difficulty.
On the story but, I mean visual novals or games entirely story centric. Games where the story is central to the game
This pause button feature is why I prefer PS5 and Switch/2 over PC.
I just put the PS5 into sleep mode and when I’m back I press the PS button and resume. Same witch the switch power button.
