P2Es are actually quite addicting! I think most decline to play it because they are mostly boring and as much as its a play to earn project it would take quite the determination and dedication to continue playing cause the amount of hours play to the earning aint really good. I guess you basically need to be early or else the risk-reward will not be that worth it.
Do you have any projects or games you could recommend? I haven't spent much time exploring P2E projects myself. At its peak, I tried playing Axie Infinity, which was very popular back then, but I stepped back because you have to buy the initial three Axies to play the game, and the price just didn't seem reasonable to me at the time.
