[Discretely throws a blanket over my "Steam playtime" stat for "EuroTruck Simulator 2"... and then another one over "American Truck Simulator"] But, honestly, I've no problem with the hole-playing game conceptually. The description probably does it no justice, anymore than saying that Pong is about moving a bar up and down the screen. (Although... breaking down descriptions of games to the most minimalist and ridiculous level actually sounds sort of fun. Pac-Man: A game about picking up dots. Mario: just move right. Dark Souls: a game about dying repeatedly. ;-)
