A gaming sub free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Skyrim, hands down. I own that game... Let's see, 360, PS3, PC, PC Special Edition, 4 times. I own that game 4 times and have been playing it on and off (more on than off) since it came out. Never even gotten halfway through the main questline.
Guild Wars 2. Granted it doesn't really have a "finish" but that doesn't stop be trying to complete more and more of it.
Valheim. There is so much to do, explore and discover! I play VH either with friends or solo. We've never finished all bosses yet and are currently less active, but we often get very active in bursts of time. I can get lost for HOURS in this game, completely forgetting the time and world around me. Then I notice I've played for 6 hours straight and mostly gathered some wood and improved my house a bit. I never gets boring though.
Don't Starve. I've spend a lot of time in this game and I think I've not even seen a quarter of all the content. I've never even defeated a boss.
Probably Europa Universalis 4. I've played dozens of campaigns, and clocked in hundreds of hours (>850), and I have yet to make it more than 2/3 of the way through the campaign time. I usually have a specific win condition I'm interested in (e.g. an achievement, or cool scenario), and once I hit it, I don't bother continuing the campaign.
Other than that, I tend to bail on most RPGs around 50 hours in, so I've never finished any Elder Scrolls, Final Fantasy, etc despite starting numerous times. I feel like I bail when I get too powerful, need to grind because I'm not powerful enough, the story drags and I lose track of the main story line. I still keep starting them, but I almost never finish them.
Rocket League, 3693(steam)+PSN(probably a couple hundreds) hours since 2015. It's multiplayer so you literally can't "finish" it.
So I must be really good at it right? RIGHT?
Ahem, you don't need to be "really good" to enjoy a game for a long time. ;)
I've been trying to beat XCom 2 for years but I always end up ragequitting when I lose three guys who miss multiple 90% shots in a row, while behind high cover.
I think most new games have a modified "perceived chance to hit" that makes an XCom 90 a 70 or something.

There is no end in Rimworld.
I launched the rocket once and it was very unfulfilling.

Minecraft i beat the ender dragon plenty of times sure but a lot of my world i just get sidetracked with doing something else instead oh and hyper light drifter ive started playthroughs plenty of times but always leave them off around the first boss for whatever reason
I've been playing off and on for a decade and never even seen the ender dragon! I'm always too busy building cool bases and then just sitting in them like a hermit.
